Would it be realistic to use licence plate readers that cities have (like Flock) to track ICE activity? Most of the time local police are at the scene of these events, even though they should not be helping in any way (in a santuary state). The police could collect the plate number of all the ice vehicles, and put them into a hotlist.
Any time one drives past a plate reader, it will post it publcly and maybe send an alert to anyone who opts in.
How feasable would this be?
I don’t think your assumptions about police are valid. In my state, police are not allowed to assist federal officials when no state crime is being investigated. While it is targeted at immigration, it has the plausible deniability of being general and a veneer of non-interference and fiscal responsibility. Sanctuary doesn’t mean police will act to help the victims, just that they’re not allowed to help the thugs
That’s what I mean. Sometimes they are there observing the situation from a distance, or just driving by, not doing anything. What I ask is if the city council (or whoever is in charge) could tell the police to document the plate numbers of all the vehicles.
