Man arrested for robbery while pretending to be ICE, Houston





“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals!

🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

People are trying to capture it all on their cell phones, and then they get arrested.
But some guy with a little drone can sit in his car and control it while safely out of reach. He can follow the ICE guys as they leave. He can hover right above them and make them aware they're being monitored.

Drones are nice and small and portable now. Why not deploy more of them?

He will be guaranteed due process, unlike his victims.
