Have you ever been subjected to a search (both digital and physical spaces) by law enforcement? When, where, and what was searched? Did you consent or no? Was it lawfully conducted? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Just want to hear stories so I can mentally prepare myself for such... hostile... interactions... (Hopefully this never happens to me)

P.S: And before anyone start spamming "Don't Consent to searches", remember that that's a very democracy-centric viewpoint. In some countries you could be jailed for refusing.

I got randomly selected at an airport (surpise im brown) The crotch patting in the middle of the airport while hella ppl watch was weird af ngl, Itried to make it awkward for them but it was still ass. I was just talking loudly about what was happening the whole time, like oh you actually touch me there wild, out in the open crazy, this was the columbus airport and I obviously sound like im from california not indian, my friend was just lowkey in shock half laughing half staring in shock that I actually got randomly searched. I had a microfiber cloth in my pocket which prob set it off to be fair, was just awkward af that it was only me to get selected. This was after lost lands so there were hella white ravers in the airport ahead of us.
