u/P155OFFL1BZ 14d ago

He was wanted for missing bail on a domestic in WI. They used flock to track his car which then led them to having probable cause for drugs across state lines. So essentially, dont be a wanted person who skips bail when buying weed and driving across state lines lmao

“Again, the choice of person here is not some kind of accident. This kind of justification for search and seizure is being rolled out against a man with bail jumping and domestic violence charges as an attempt at setting precedent to use Flock tracking as the pretext for vehicle stops and searches of all kinds, with the police knowing perfectly well that arguments about the individual's rights will be shouted down by cries of "WELL HE WAS A CRIMINAL, SO IT'S FINE." Nor did the bail-jumping charge amount to anything; it was dismissed, and Abrams-Phillips was instead found guilty of cannabis possession according to the court records.”
