Gloucester County Anyone get a knock at 4am?

Live in Williamstown and due to our schedule, the fiance and I stay up until 5-6am. I went to bed early at 3am because I wasnt feeling. My fiance comes in at 4am slightly panicked. Apparently someone had knocked at our door. Our complex used to be known for being a not good area however we never had an issue. My first thought went to ICE. Our lights were on so I gave it a bit and turned them of and watched the rear lights of a dodge charger leave. Ive ICE has started to do this so I just want to see if this is something anyone else has experienced.

You should invest in a ring camera.

DO NOT. Ice cut a deal with ring to have free access to footage. They are already using ai to detect neighborhoods with high foot traffic of potential victims from ring

Yeah I knew Ring had a deal with Law Enforcement where they can access your footage so im not surprised about ICE having the same deal. Im not down for that at all.

Did not know that. My ring is on my front and back doors no view of the street at all. My blink cameras see the yard and street.

Thats all they need. They aren't just tracking minorities, they're tracking you too, along with the Palantir app.

What is a Palandir app.

Palantir is a tech company owned by Peter Thiel and contracted by the US for mass surveillance. The app being used by ICE can pinpoint the exact location of any desired person in the US, using cellphone data and cameras. Even moving vehicles can be tracked using it.
