Here's how you round up the clowns that stormed the Capitol and grind them into dust.

[SharonClark]

From Daily Kos...

In the post 9/11 world we have become used to the pervasive surveillance that characterizes Total Information Awareness. There’s a reason CIA Director Petraeus was so enthusiastic about the Internet-of-Things. If you want to freak yourself out ask Alexa if it is connected to the NSA.

We don’t need to be so slick when dealing with a group of Neanderthals. They carry their tracking devices with them. I could post a dozen pictures like the one I put up here, but you get the point. You can be sure that most, if not all, of the mob who overran the Capitol on January 6 were carrying cell phones.

If you think I’m going to suggest a geo-fence warrant to scoop up all the phones that were active inside the Capitol yesterday, you’d be wrong. No, that could be legally challenged as unconstitutional. But we don’t need to open that can of worms. What DoJ needs is called a “cell tower data dump.” That gives you all the connections made through a specific set of cell towers during a specific window in time. You don’t need a warrant for that.

Even if you do think a warrant is needed, all you need is one of the arrested individuals to have a cell phone and you use them as the probable cause justification for the warrant.

1. Terrorism opens up a lot more investigative tools.

And penalties.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. They're deathly scared of nanochips in vax but carry powerful mini tracking devices willingly. . nt

[enough]

10. This is what comes of being completely incurious about science and engineering.

It makes them willful sitting ducks.

14. They think they understand and are in control of their phones

They can turn their phones off, even though they never do. But once you have the VAXX in your bloodstream you can't control it, and maybe it can somehow control you. You can't see it. It doesn't do anything obvious and immediate for you, but you have to get it through an injection. It's all kind of primal fears rolled into one convenient scapegoat if you have that tendency.

3. Of course! It's really that simple. Holy crap! I never thought of it.

But, I have no experience planning felonies, so, I'd have no reason to.

I certainly hope Biden tells the FBI do wrangle them all up.

4. Trump's National Monuments Executive Order will be helpful.

Automatic 10 years for defacing any national monument.

9. EOs can't be used in court as a basis for a criminal charge.

[BlueIdaho]

11. Interesting!

[ClusterFreak]

5. Oooooooooohhhhhh!!!

Me likey!!

[SCantiGOP]

6. You locate them through cell phones

FBI shows up and says, “Is this you in this photo inside the Capitol?”
“Oh, before you answer, lying to the FBI is a federal offense that carries its owns sentence that can be added to your destruction of federal property and assault on LE officers charges. Now, why are you crying?”

[former9thward]

12. No one is required to talk to the FBI.

I always advise my clients to never speak to a LEO under any circumstances.

[SCantiGOP]

15. I know

But if you do talk and lie, it is a crime.
Knew someone who got 10 for fibbing to FBI, and he was an attorney.

[former9thward]

16. Many attorneys think that because they know the law (or think they do)

they will be clever enough to break it and not get nailed. Yes, some are successful but many end up in prison. Good riddance.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

7. Great idea!

[central scrutinizer]

8. They didn't look like prepaid burner phones

Like the drug dealers on The Wire used.

[roamer65]

13. FISA warrants.

They can get any information they want.
