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.

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
