A big part of policing is being visible, so they often take lunches or park in obvious places. They want criminals to be paranoid and the public to feel safe. Nothing bad came of it! Woo! I've been stopped as a kid because people thought I was shoplifting because I'd walk around very quickly with my head down and hands in my pockets, it's nerve wracking but I understand why it happened.


I get followed around a lot in stores too. But I don't really mind. There's always someone to wait on me if I need help :) .

Police are human too, so chances are, they're NT. On the other hand, suppressing a stim is very dangerous, if you had to, explain it to them.

Why did you resurrect a thread from nearly two years ago?
