My only two experiences with cops were in college. Once I was pulled over for a taillight being out while on the way back from a grocery run. This, of course, warranted 3 squad cars and all 3 of us being pulled out of the car, patted down, and the car searched on the main road through town. They claimed that having party poppers (the little pull-string things that pop confetti) were "fireworks out of season" because I had long hair and we were a bunch of nerds with nothing illegal on them. Thank god I wasn't presenting as more femme yet because I'm positive they would have hassled me even more. The second time, we were wandering campus with energy drinks (I had a bottle of bawls if anyone remembers that). Tried to claim we had open containers before they left telling us we shouldn't be wandering around looking like trouble. gently caress small town cops. My dad, now a hardcore republican, once ran from the cops (they hadn't done anything wrong before evading the cops) while him and his buddies threw fried chicken at them and I've never been prouder to relate to the man. ACAB indeed.

I was so anxious about cops as a 16 year old driver that even though I never tried alcohol until I turned 21, I practiced saying the ABCs backwards in case a cop at a sobriety checkpoint asked me. Never got a chance to put it into use, but I can do it fast enough now that it'd probably be seen as a different sort of red flag.
