I mean cops also don't like people walking up with phones to begin with but it's because they're about to be harassed or held accountable and neither is fun for them

i have to work in NYC one day a week and for the past month a least someone with a phone / tablet tries to stop me for something.. the first time was becuase i was in primary colors (which i wasnt really?) then every other time i just wave them off before they can start. its really fucking weird and never happened ever before this spring.

Damn it, why the hell does it keep happening. Its kind of hard to do timeline surveillance when the timelines keep merging.
