Cops are among the easiest people to spook. They're like bunny rabbits, but with guns.

Other triggers include

removing something from a pocket especially when asked
being brown
running, for any reason
Owning a dog
not being white

Maybe I should type in my password and see if it matches what you’re seeing?
