  Same rules as dealing with wolves.

  No eye contact.

  No smiling.

  No sudden moves.

  No sandwiches.

  That’s actually a popular misconception. Your goal is fo come off as docile, comfortable, and most importantly neurotypical. They think avoiding eye contact is evidence of a crime. If they think you’re scared they’ll give you something to be scared of.

  After all, only bad guys are scared of our heroic cops. /s
