Might Be a Good Idea to Photograph and Catalog ICE Employee Badge Numbers and Vehicle License Plates. [View all]

ICE employees are conducting their campaign of domestic terrorism in part because they can operate under a veil of secrecy and anonymity due to face coverings. As such, it seems like a good idea to capture and catalog ICE agent badge numbers by location, date, and type of event (kidnapping, protester violence, etc.). The same could apply to the vehicles they are driving. If they are government vehicles, they are assigned to someone at ICE (rental vehicles would have a similar identifier). Eventually the identities of these ICE agents will be exposed, and these badge and license plate numbers might be crucial in bringing some level of accountability to these agents. Some of the hacked data on ICE agents might include these badge numbers as well.

Yes, they do have badge numbers (think it is part of their effort to provide a sense of legitimacy). waterwatcher123 Jan 14 #11
With the leak, you can probably match a lot of their name tag symbols with what is released. SSJVegeta Jan 14 #3
Seems like some of them may be "plate swapping", which surely has to be illegal. RedWhiteBlueIsRacist Jan 14 #5
It is hard to see, but the VIN number on the vehicle is another good identifier (hard to get that close, however). waterwatcher123 Jan 14 #12
They rarely display either badges or license plates. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jan 14 #6

I have seen quite a few pictures and video where ICE agents have their faces covered and their badges visible. waterwatcher123 Jan 14 #10

It is by no means the most important thing people can do - just about accountability down the road. waterwatcher123 Jan 14 #15
Just rip their masks down GenThePerservering Jan 14 #9
Ritche Torres is supposedly filing a bill requiring ICE agents to wear an identifying QR code WhiskeyGrinder Jan 14 #13
Good idea - a new form of ICE tattoo. waterwatcher123 Jan 14 #17

The number they typically scan is right on the dash under the windshield (usually driver's side). waterwatcher123 Jan 14 #16
Thanks for the additional info. keep_left Jan 14 #18
