....your local police department come out in full force?
Apparently here in Las Vegas, to get the attention of few police cruisers and a few helicopters, it just takes one kid with a can of spray paint writing graffiti on a wall.
Dispatch:
"We have a casino robbery on Las Vegas and Main and a kid destroying property on Maryland and Trop."
Cruiser:
"Copy, we'll take the kid. Send a chopper out on him..."

Herewith is a not so light-hearted fact, but rather stark, which reflex is hard-wired into the American psyche; and not at all any longer thought an anomaly to many people who observe what alas is a simple veracity:
One good, sure-fire way in America to garner the attentions of law enforcement is for a select cohort of Americans, to typically feel threatened by gatherings of black people at public places and thereto alert the authorities, which the police turn aside to at once surveil the goings-ons, who themselves are as typically on edge by too many black people associating (or thought "loitering as to make trouble ") in one place, for these police share the same fears as do those selfsame fear-mongers who summoned their attentions in the first place.
The rest rests with the law of gravity and unrequited bias about which these same fear-riddled Americans exhibit the great "sin" that is denial and it would appear if not evidence a courts-penal system that intends not to be forthcoming but with only few measures of fair-play.

Being really tall is enough here.
A date and I were driving down Main ST. towards our local theater, going to see a movie. A police officer pulled us over, asked to see my dates driver's license, and then told us not to move. He returned to his car and got on the radio... in a few minutes, five more police cars with two officers each pulled in behind us. We were freaking out, not knowing what the heck we had done! The officers all got out of their cars and surrounded our car, asking my date to step out. He was shaking, because he was sure he had been mistaken for some sort of terrorist or something. Once he had exited the car, all of the police officers started laughing and saying "Holy Sh*t! It's true!"
They then explained that they just wanted to see if he was really 7'4", as his license claimed.
Apparently the police in my town are very bored.

I rented a "duplex" with three other guys back in the '80's. They rode motor bikes and I had a 1972ish Datsun 1600.
To get the police to call around in force all we had to do was invite two mates over and line 5 motor bikes up on the footpath out the front. It was a great trick to pull when we had a party.. and needed everyone to go home! People would dive out over back fences and ..scatter everywhere cause the police would show up in numbers as soon as we lined up the motorbikes.
Ah, yeah.. it was a great place to live.. opposite the student nurses quarters in Randwick NSW :)
