“Annabeth craned her neck to see the Gateway Arch, which looked to me like a huge shopping bag handle stuck on the city.” The Lightning Thief page 202
PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS 1x04 + 1x05: A Typical Day in St. Louis
“The highway also cut off many residents—mainly poor and black—from the development around the arch, aggravating racial tensions still fresh from when construction unions barred African-Americans from working on the site. The displacement came to epitomize 20th-century ‘urban renewal’—a euphemism, James Baldwin quipped, for Negro removal.’” Fred Kaplan for The Smithsonian Magazine, The Twisted History of the Gateway Arch

The police were chasing me through an abandoned strip mall. I ran into the only operational store, which happened to be an extremely run down Taco Bell. The manager handed me a burrito and said it was a key. When I walked back outside the police were gone and the lights in the parking lot were turned on.

It's either the cops or Darkiplier. (Dialogue from the meme, more or less.)

Today I got pulled over for speeding and had to go through that special Trans Rite of Passage where I’ve still not gotten around to the legal name change and so I look completely different from what my driver’s license claims.
Was definitely dreading it from the moment the lights started flashing. Cop who gets out of the car is this big 50-something white guy, I’m living in Indiana, I’m sitting there in the car thinking, “Oh shit, I am going to jail, aren’t I.”
But it ended up being a much more bizarre interaction. The cop is completely confused when I tell him that I’ve transitioned since my driver’s license photo was taken, and I discover while talking to him that apparently, somehow, he was until this moment completely unaware of the whole transgender thing, so I wind up going back to square one and having to explain the basics of “I was woman, I am now man” and he’s just like getting slapped with culture shock during this conversation. I would accuse him of feigning ignorance but he wasn’t being harrass-y or asking invasive questions, just seemed very baffled.
An actual quote from him while he was holding up my driver’s license next to my face to compare: “Whoa, man, that is wild!”
I feel like he’s going to go home to his family or his friend group or something all set to share this amazing story about the crazy bizarre thing he learned today and then just be confused as hell once again when they aren’t as astonished as he was.

My sibling, a wanted criminal, introduces me, a wanted criminal and known anarchist, to their romantic partner, the in-source equivalent of a cop. Hijinks ensue.

Consider: Not Lying to the Cops
It usually doesn't work.
I've seen many posts that say lying to the cops is always morally correct.
I'd say it's morally neutral at best (in the US anyway) and here's why:
Lying to the cops is shockingly ineffective as a tactic most of the time. Lying is hard! It's hard to keep your story straight. And once you start talking (even by lying) you might say something that compromises you or a comrade. It can also sometimes be a separate crime! Which is really the last thing you need to be dealing with.
Instead try: SILENCE. Do not talk to the cops even to lie. Tell the cops you are going to remain silent and that you want a lawyer. Then talk to the lawyer about your options once you have privacy. You have a right to a lawyer if you are facing criminal allegations (and especially if you are arrested). Use it!
Remember: loose lips sink ships.
Resources:
You may remember the NLG from the SHUT THE FUCK UP video. I've been a proud member since 2016.
The Tilted Scales guide to being a defendant is excellent (and free to download).

It's 6am and I should be sleeping. But I had to deal with the cops* an hour ago, and there's no way I'm going back to sleep. THEREFORE
It's time to start Cabbage, my gnome bard, who I have wanted to play forever. Two months ago, she was going to romance Gale, but that's Penny's job now. So I'm thinking Karlach
(*Very drunk woman tried to break into my house. Cops said her parents used to live here and they ended up driving her to her parent's new address. This is why we need to abolish the police. There needs to be a better solution to situations like this than 'men with guns')

I was playing a sick tune for my school's talent show (it was Orbitron by Duster) and the police came and took my bass guitar.

Rant ahead. Do not read.
Alright. Clearly, the universe doesn't want me to have any time to rest because every time I get a second of downtime, something insane happens.
I just got home because the cops banged on my door when I was in the shower. Apparently, my stepdad, who lives on the other side of town, barricaded himself in the basement of a house that used to belong to a friend of the family --- who passed away over a year ago. A new family lives there now. When I got there, they even had the K-9 unit out and were hauling him out of the basement in handcuffs.
The sheriff had to give me a ride home. I feel so bad for the family he terrorized (I guess he banged on their windows and said someone was coming to hurt them, then broke into the basement) and for the cops who have to keep dealing with this stuff.
I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take. It's always something.

Canon children ask game
Tw for death.
On my planet, names are reserved for immediate family. Because of this I will not name my children here.
I had four children on Gallifrey. They were the most amazing individuals I have ever had the honour to meet.
My eldest was our equivalent of a police officer. I remember the day we got the news, that they had been accepted. We had a picnic in the Constellation of Laughter, where the colourful gases sounded like they were laughing. They were incredibly similar to their other parent, but they had my eyes. In every regeneration.
My middle child was a chef. They were the greatest in seven galaxies. Every species around wanted them to cook for every special occasion going. And they did! One of the benefits of time travel. They could make the most delicious meals with two or three ingredients. They laughed like I do.
My youngest was an archivist. They recorded our history and carefully stored it for future generations. Despite it being against the laws, we would occasionally go back in time to see what previous generations were like. They were the most like me, I think. No respect for any rules.
My final child is a difficult story to tell. During the War, there were creatures called Never-Weres. When they killed someone, that person got erased from history. They never existed. Every Time Lord that went into battle had a Time-Locked box holding pictures and important documents about themselves. These boxes were placed on a timer. If you didn't access them within three weeks of updating them, they would send themselves to your next of kin. I received one of these boxes, showing that I had a fourth child. I don't remember them at all. That box was one of my most precious belongings before I introjected here. The longer I go without seeing it, the less I remember. Soon I might forget they ever existed.
I had a fifth child through a forced form of asexual reproduction. Her name was Jenny. Her name can be shared because she wasn't raised a Time Lord, in our culture. She was born full grown, and a soldier. I promised to take her to new worlds and show her that there's more to life than fighting. But she died. She was only 4 hours old. She loved adventure as much as I do.
All of my kids are dead now. I haven't talked about them in a very long because it still hurts so much. But I think talking and sharing might help.

I think G.U.N and the police are still around in Sonic (they are in IDW atleast) but they don't get involved with Sonic and Co.
G.U.N couldn't do anything to stop Eggman from just walking into their super secret and secure base to steal Shadow and even when they caught Sonic he kept busting out. Once on his own (the helicopter) and once with help of his friends (prison island). And if G.U.N can't do anything then I highly doubt a small police force could.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that they do do things but just stuff that doesn't involve Sonic. Like arresting petty criminals or stopping gang activities. When it actually comes to stuff involving Sonic, they're probably the ones to evacuate the cities and help fund any resources the crew needs. I could believe them helping the Restoration but keeping their involvements at arms length.
GUN sees Eggman chasing Sonic through the streets and just decides it's above their paygrade lol.
In truth, this seems fair. Like in the Incredibles, there might be some people who would like the Sonic friends controlled and answering to the law, but to do so is genuinely so close to impossible, and everybody owes them so much, it's just never going to be fundable.
I like the idea of Sonic being a major social and ethical talking point but he has no idea because he's not very in tune with boring adult stuff. They did it in X, I believe, and I enjoyed that. I realise I may be in the minority of fans who want to see the geopolitical ramefications of Sonic's existence, but I am here all the same!
