I think (hope) youve just worded your question really badly?
Are you suggesting people who might be deported, track themselves? So when ICE comes for them, the public can protest the arrest?
Pretty much yea. I just keep seeing these cases where people get disapeared and no phone call no nothing. Hell they could be shooting people to death in the Arizona desert Joe Pesci style. Just thought if we started storming the bastion we would be better informed. Kind of like Abu Gharib people had not idea how POWs were being treated by the US.
What’s your endgame here? That 1) some guy will be able to get a sizeable crowd of strangers to show up on their behalf AND 2) it will be enough that ICE will release that one person?
There have been individuals drawing protestors already. Hasn’t done shit.
Don’t need it. You can just look up the locations of ICE detention camps on a map.
No.
From a technical and practical standpoint, any device with location tracking carries a significant privacy risk. Even strong encryption doesn’t eliminate the problem, because the weakest point in these systems isn’t always the math—it’s the humans. Keys can be stolen, accounts can be hacked, and access can be abused by the very people who are supposed to have it.
We’ve already seen this play out in the real world.
Police departments have abused phone-based location tools to monitor ex-partners and journalists.
Companies like Tile and Apple have had to add anti-stalking features because strangers were secretly tracking people.
And when location data is stored centrally, it becomes a prime target—like when U.S. agencies purchased phone-location data from marketing firms to track people without warrants.
Once tracking data exists, there is always the possibility that someone other than the “intended” person gets access—whether that’s a stalker, a data broker, a hacker, or a government agency. At scale, a tool built for convenience can quickly become a surveillance system.
So the issue isn’t just “what if someone abuses it”—the issue is that every trackable device creates an opportunity for abuse. Convenience turns into liability the moment access leaks, laws change, or someone with power decides they want the data.
How? An airtag isn’t going to work from inside you, and they’re going to search you. They also like to bounce people around to make them hard to track, so that tracker is going to end up wherever the person was processed
This just isn’t practical with current technology
