In the early 2000's I went on a trip to LA for work when I got stopped by a cop while driving a rented car.
I shut down the engine, put the key on the dashboard, rolled down the window and put my hands on top of the steering wheel so they would be visible. I didn't shut the fuck up so the conversation went something like this:
- (pointing at the keys) What's this?
- The car key?
- I mean why did you do that?
- That's what the ministry of tourism of my country recommend we do here when we are stopped.
- They tell you to do that?
- Not really. They publish a pamphlet on their website on how to interact with the police in the US and I happened to read it.
- That's weird. Why do they tell you that?
- I guess... You guys maybe have... A reputation?
He looked PISSED but he also let me go right there. I don't even know what he had stopped me for in the first place.
