    Not only was he illegally searched, but McDonald’s is likely engaging in illegal facial recognition based surveillance, possibly in collusion with the federal government.

    No way a random McDonald’s worker could randomly point out that Mangione looks like the suspect, of which we had very few photos.

    Not to mention the solitary confinement, although unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s illegal, even given the 8th amendment.

      Solitary confinement is absolutely unconstitutional, but good luck convincing someone that it’s cruel and unusual if they’ve never been subject to it

        Also, courts have repeatedly ruled that a punishment has to be both cruel and unusual to be unconstitutional. Which means that if the government just treats everyone like trash, it’s cruel but not unusual. Because the government is what decides what is unusual simply by adjusting how often it is used. If something is unusual and they want to change that, they just do it more so it’s considered usual.

        I don’t get why we’re celebrating this. If the system won’t pay up, what kind of message are you sending to the public? This is just propping up the ACAB narrative.

        I suspect Luigi may have turn himself into her, hoping the reward money would help her some how.

      Good point about the snitch. If it was an actual person, I feel like we’d all know their name by now, no matter how hard they tried to keep it under wraps.
