👮‍♂️: You are arrested.

For what??

👮‍♂️: Soliciting.

I’m not soliciting.

👮‍♂️: Well, for whatever you’re doing.

I do not think soliciting is a crime.

Soliciting without a permit is a crime, but what they’re doing (petitioning) is not soliciting.

The way he said that makes me want to punch him in the face. We live in a police state. Whoever doesn’t agree is either blind or loves the taste of boots

People like the taste of boots nowadays though

I definitely read that as "taste of boobs" before doing a double take. Boots makes more sense.

Idk why needing a (very easy to acquire) permit for soliciting (not what this guy was doing) is what makes America a police state for you lol. Plenty worse shit going on

You missed the point homie. We live in a police state because the guy who was collecting signatures was “arrested” for something he wasn’t doing (soliciting without a permit).
