I know for a fact I’m already on them. I found out through channels that the police would visit my property on a weekly/bi-weekly basis to see where I was. I don’t think that’s been the case now for years, but it was when I was more actively involved in local activist leftist groups.

It's a little more obvious when you don't live near anyone, and they have to come down dirty country roads to park across from your property on a DWP service road, and pull out binoculars.

I used to grab my own, and wave at them energetically like I was excited to see them if I had to go somewhere.

A lot of people from my area who went out to escorts clinic-goers got the same treatment.

Nobody ever got stopped, but the moment you were seen doing nefarious things like protecting women seeking Healthcare from harassment or worse, you could expect a police tail within 5 minutes of getting behind the wheel, and cops slowly driving by your house at all hours.

That sounds so boring for those cops. Good.

The longer they spend staring at me, the less time they have to harass minorities and beat their wives.
