A racist letter reportedly circulating through Lincoln County, which has a population of about 50,000 people and is located on the state’s western coast, encourages residents to surveil and report “brown illegals…who you suspect are here in our country on an illegal basis” to the Department of Homeland Security.
"Sit in your church’s parking lot and write down the license plate [number] of brown folks. This is extremely important if you attend a catholic church—many brown folks are catholics!! Shopping, again if you see a bunch of brown folks getting in a car—write down the plate [number]. Schools, as you wait in line to pick up the kiddos or the grandkiddos—if you see brown folks—record the plate [number]. Your neighborhood—you know where the brown folks live in your neighborhood—again record the plate [numbers]. If you see a construction crew and/or a landscaping crew who have brown folks—write down the name of the company and a phone [number].”
Could we thwart efforts like this by flooding the lines with too much data, white people, brown people, black people, olive people. Basically, by the time they sift through all the license plate numbers reported, they’ll realize not a single one is real, or more hopefully, be so overwhelmed by the amount of reports that they can’t do anything at all. Maybe we can even report fake license plates in there somewhere.
That’s all I could come up with too. I think we have to also watch for our own local areas that do this kind of stuff. This is the only one that’s come up, I’m sure there are more. I bet they check your addresses and require phone numbers? Hopefully they’re as dumb as they usually are.
