Her shoulder boards say, "Do you understand the rights I have read you? But her eyes say "I'm going to have to conduct a more THOROUGH search.". Why didn't the cops that stopped me in Moscow asking for identification EVERY SINGLE DAY I WAS THERE look like her? Links to this post. Thursday, April 1, 2010.
