Never make eye contact with police everybody knows the rules
Same rules as dealing with wolves.
No eye contact.
No smiling.
No sudden moves.
No sandwiches.
no acorns.
Also homeless and old people in long queues.
That's actually a popular misconception. Your goal is fo come off as docile, comfortable, and most importantly neurotypical. They think avoiding eye contact is evidence of a crime. If they think you're scared they'll give you something to be scared of.
After all, only bad guys are scared of our heroic cops. /s
