1 monthI saw a show about self defense for women in NY city. The instructor said to always carry a sucker. One of those tootsie pops or the like. If in trouble, hold the ball in your hand, turn the stick outward, between your middle and ring finger and punch at something soft and fleshy like stomach or face (eyes, mouth). It’s nice because it works everywhere. Even the TSA will let you board a plane with a sucker.
A simple error got magnified by Flock’s nationwide surveillance camera network and ended with four cop cars boxing me in.
I’ve read that the last time any consumer privacy laws were enacted at the federal level, it was in the 1980s when a video store clerk sold a politician’s embarrassing video rental history to a newspaper.
I’m wondering if any politician who drives a car past one of these things has gone anywhere that they’d not like the public to know about.
