Not to disrespect people here but please don’t answer if you’re just looking to say a comment that doesn’t give a good explanation or context. Honestly I’m a bit tired of responses like “cause they’re corrupt” or “because they’re fascists”.

I’m hoping someone with experience in law enforcement or law can chime in and show what the actual laws are and why they could be skirting things. What ROE Ice agents might have. I’m also looking at why I don’t see any large law societies bringing these violations if there are any to the courts. I remember years ago there were entire law firms with staff dedicated to areas like this. Why is that not happening today?

    Persecutors have the monopoly on getting people charged with crimes.

    I had to look this up and I’m surprised that in most states private prosecution is barred. In the UK it’s still legal, if expensive and uncommon.

      Ouch, I never even considered the idea of private prosecution in criminal courts. Looks like a remedy that is worse than the disease.
