Federal agents observed that Schott had made an overnight trip from Houston to Carrizo Springs, Texas, and back, court records show. They knew he stayed overnight in a hotel about 80 miles (129 kilometers) from the U.S.-Mexico border. They knew that in the morning Schott met a female colleague there before they drove together to a business meeting.

That’s all it takes to get pulled over and investigated for drug trafficking WTF. This is so wrong. Can’t even drive in your own damn country

Flock drones and cameras need to be destroyed.

The land of the surveillanced and the home of the fascists

Yes but they aren’t going to ban them. In fact they will do the opposite and get more

So free travel isn't a thing anymore?

Hmm. What other historical examples of this are there and how did that turn out?

Why is "suspicious" quoted. Suspicious "travel patterns" == suspicious skin colors.

You have the right to remain silent. Use it.

Yet another thing that's straight out of dystopian fiction to the point that it wouldn't surprise me if that's where they got the idea.

The plots of ALL such movies, shows, and books must be kept away from cops and billionaires, lest they inevitably find it inspirational and copy it.

Surveilance state babe.

The predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched and in some cases arrested. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going and which route they took. Federal agents in turn may then flag local law enforcement.

Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over — often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.

In other news, anybody see Ron Swanson's new movie Sovreign?

Even if they're pulled over for legit reasons, the "free travellers" are all going to start assuming any interaction is because they've been being surveilled.

Destroy every single cone barrel you see

Mfers looking for people driving with accents.

Coming soon: Social Credit.

As if it weren’t bad enough that most US residents live within 100 miles of the border:

While the U.S. Border Patrol primarily operates within 100 miles of the border, it is legally allowed “to operate anywhere in the United States,” the agency added.

Sounds pretty god damned unconstitutional.

Hmm... what shall we do with all of these fascist traitors...

(That's rhetorical. Maybe don't answer too honestly.)
