Humble Observations Over ICE/Arrests

 1.  I've probably watched 150 clips of car 'action' where the driver was told to exit...wouldn't....ICE guys broke the glass.  Half were migrants....but the rest were mostly women (say 6 to 1 over males).

Glass repair guys are probably getting a ton of calls....coming ahead.

2.  Once you've been in a ICE-broke-my-window situation....dealing with issues....your frustration level will double.

ICE, after yanking you out and carrying your car downtown....call the tow-service for your vehicle, and it's taken to a yard (figure the tow, and storage...being near $300).

Then you talk to your husband/spouse, and they ask if this were really necessary.

3. Lawyer fees and fine?

Figure around $1k for the lawyer fee....if you just admit you were stupid.  The fine?   Figure up around $2k to $5k. If you fight it....figure 30 to 90 days in a fed-jail.  If you tried to ram ICE?  Figure 6 months in fed-jail.

4. Bail bondsmen?

Nine out of ten of these  idiot have never been arrested or put into a bail-situation.....so getting 'Larry' (the husband) or cousin Wanda to bail you out....might require some talking.

5. After you've been arrested and convicted....say for ramming....this conviction  sticks with you and will be a job-problem (most HR folks will ask questions).

1970s, I worked with LawEnforcementOfficials.
Men were in-charge.
Ten out of ten used an alias and a faked name-tape on their uniform, a distancing tactic to deter -- and perpetually postpone -- inquiries from 'outsiders', our name for anybody asking questions about anything.
.
An outsider with a photograph of an officer had an especially difficult time getting information... that person inevitably medically-pensioned to some distant land without the modern convenience of mail.
Nepal and the former Belgian Congo were popular destinations for retirees.
.
These days, with the DIE-hire gals giving orders, all that probably changed.
