Seems like uninformed bull. Your recording is protected by the usual copyright. It may not be used without permission except as permitted by law. If the law is being violated, sue the heck out of the state.

Now if you post it on social media, make sure you read the content privacy policy. They often suck.

If you think an institution that doesn't respect the sanctity of life is going to respect copyright of all things you've lost the plot entirely.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm sure "except as permitted by law" allows for a lot of use by law enforcement "without [your] permission." And even if it didn't, it may not do you a damn bit of good. Lawsuits take a long time.

Also, it's pretty clear that ICE employs a lot of incompetent, poorly trained, and/or dangerous people.

It's also illegal to summarily execute citizens on the street. That isn't stopping anyone.

The law today DOES NOT protect you against the government.

If it weren't for the opening sentence, I'd swear this comment was meant to be sarcastic. So now I'm left with the question of how the hell someone could post this with a straight face.

Only protection can protect you. If that’s the law then so be it, and if it’s not then so be it. But do not be surprised when your story of litigation fails to shield you from anything.
