That is when I realized I was wrong. A white women and her white male companion in their bmw i with md tags starting with D, decided to slow down, inspect me, and the box bag.

Then I realize I am an adult that moved a significant amount of litter to it’s proper location I owe this “woman” nothing.

Before my walk was completed the park police showed up.
Stop policing our bodies.

These people are ridiculous. Sorry OP. I can see that happening

Fellow AA woman here -- Sorry that you had to deal with it this morning. It's the automatic assumption of the worst that is so frustrating. The people driving by, police, etc. assume you're up to no good, and ascribe the worst/suspicious motives to innocuous behavior. It's tiresome and sometimes you just need to vent. Ignore the gaslighting and/or clueless PPs.

I don't understand why so many people are eager to invalidate what you're saying. In 2023, this can't seem improbable to anyone.

Because there are dozens of other more likely reasons this occurred.

Completely agree. I believe you, OP. And it sucks.

BTW thank you, and the other guy on this thread, for cleaning up the trash that selfish people leave behiind.

Gaslighting will not work today.

You were not clear on this in your OP. You said they inspected you and that you thought they took a picture. You didn’t say anything about them calling the park police on you. Did you hear the phone call or are you assuming? Because, the park police does make rounds and they do patrol parks.

Ok. They did. And in my free time I will try to FOIA for the call .

Btw what would give her the right to inspect me? This is my neighborhood. She is not a member. It is small and we all know each other.

There is not expectation of privacy in public. People can stare at you and take your picture. They did not break any laws or rules.

I dislike lots of other people’s behavior in public. I can’t control it though. What is your point?

You are being so dense. If people were taking your picture, you would wonder why. You wouldn't brush it off like you say you would. You would think to your's "why are these bmw women taking my picture while I haul trash?" So what if they're allowed to do it And you're acting like op is unusual for contemplating this.

I’m so sorry, OP. You deserve better.
