1. There is only one reason why agents, cops or their bosses

don't want body cams. It's not rocket science to figure out that reason. Imagine how many thousands and thousands of people got railroaded by false statements from cops and agents over the years before body cams. We still see many examples of cops making false statements about events even with body cams around.

The masking of agents is for the purpose of intimidation, provoking fear and preventing identification in order to deter accountability for their actions internally and in the courts. The idea that the agent who is confronting immigration protesters will be targeted by drug cartels is silly on it's face. Some latter day Oaf Creeper goon who signed up to grab workers from the Home Depot has little to worry about from a cartel since the cartel isn't moving their product through some guy just trying to make a buck doing odd jobs.
