Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Have you ever been subjected to a search (both digital and physical spaces) by law enforcement? When, where, and what was searched? Did you consent or no? Was it lawfully conducted? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Just want to hear stories so I can mentally prepare myself for such... hostile... interactions... (Hopefully this never happens to me)

P.S: And before anyone start spamming "Don't Consent to searches", remember that that's a very democracy-centric viewpoint. In some countries you could be jailed for refusing.

I didn't get searched, but I did get pulled over once and interrogated for about 20 minutes while the cops tried to dig up some reason to ticket me. This was during Obama years, I'm Hispanic and was driving a beat up car.

The cops implied that I had been drinking (false), I had been on a party boat (also false, I was on a transport ferry and couldn't even go inside because of my dog), and that my dog was dangerous (she was asleep on the passenger seat), among more.

Cops love killing dogs. Glad you got passed over
