    Don’t police stop people that are walking? I heard this from multiple people. It’s so unusual to not be in a car they investigate.

      I’ve had people in cars shout at me as they pass by and I’ve had a cop drive up to me and ask me where I’m headed, dependes from location to location, but walking is just seen as an odd activity in this country for some reason lol

        This kind of “societal pressure” for lack of a better term is probably discouraging people. At least for me it would be.

          I have darker skin color so I avoid cops like the plague. I was walking home at 1 am in the rain and a single cop drove up to me and asked me where I was going and I wanted a lift, I picked a random apartment complex and said that’s my home and just pretended to go in there till he drove away
