Boy is that ever true. Working as a news photographer, more than once I was
reported to the police as a pervert bothering some kids. Fortunately, the
police were savvy to it, and would ask them what our cars look like. (Easy
when there are only four news photographers in the whole town). If they
describe our car, the cops would say "Don't worry, they work for the
News-Press, they're OK."
It was good we were normally on good terms with the local police (with a few
notable individual exceptions).
