How to be an alien, page 7 of 7
Link to this article!You are a criminal (cont'd...)
And because when you show him your proof of payment, he says, "I don't know what this is".And because the encounter is a nightmare, even when the only thing you've done "wrong" is the lack of a sticker that you're never received.
Chances are he'll give you a written warning, but not before accusing you of having contraband in your car, of having been arrested in the past, of hiding something and of being on drugs.
Chances are he will harass you because in Varsovia you're a criminal. And because in Varsovia you're considered guilty until proven innocent.
He'll harass you if you're not used to dealing with aggressive, weird cops whose eyes are disguised behind pitch black glasses... and who have guns.
He'll harass you, if you fit the "racial profile" he is looking for.
He'll harass you, if he thinks you're an alien, ergo a criminal.
He won't catch the criminal mastermind of the century, but he'll make you hate professional bullies even more than before.
And why is it that he's just a kid calling you a liar, but you're calling him, "Sir"?
And why don't you get any dignity when he pulls you over for a very minor issue?
Because it's all twisted up. Because in Varsovia you're a criminal. And because in Varsovia you're considered guilty until proven innocent.
