Don't keep it on your phone when you plan to be in an airport or at a border crossing.

This is an excellent app for folks with a fear of polar bears.

Re: ICEBlock App
Very good point, Kish, in fact, anyone who travels a lot ought to consider getting a burner phone for travel.
In addition to Kish's point, anyone planning on using it ought to ask: Is it a government honeypot? If not, how hard will it be for the FBI to hack it? What are the chances a high-level employee is juiced in with other "tech bros" willing to broker the data? I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
It would be better for google to expand its reporting features just a little. I swear I've seen speed trap warnings but not real recent. That could be utilized and made far more effective.
In principle it's a great idea. I grew up watching Dukes of Hazard and most of us had that neighbor with a fast car and a Leader-1. Truck drivers watch out for each other by CB radio. It's the true libertarian spirit to resist LE overreach. What ICE is doing is sick. It's even counter-productive to their own aims of racking up numbers. They want the punishment before the trial, and if a person can get to their lawyer before they are kidnapped, they increase their chances of getting dealt with fairly, including avoiding kidnapping.

We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.
