Most of the federal agents arresting people perform fundamentally public-facing activities ostensibly in service of the public. Compared to the average person (or if you'd prefer, to the average non-government-employee), such federal agents should have very little expectation of privacy when they are on the job.

Wilhoit's Law: [0] Frank Wilhoit's original text from crookedtimber.org on 03.22.18 at 12:09 am
> Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
> There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
> The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

So, the government should "disappear" people without publicizing it? That's so much worse.
