Wife and i are in Bismark N.D.
Last evening we went over to look at the very ugly state capital at about dusk.
We drove up this long drive then stopped to take a couple photos.
No tourists were anywhere but a plain cloths cop wearing gym shorts an tee shirt with a gun under his shirt very quickly came over to challenge us.
Just taking a picture there pal.
No, we are not terrorists just tourist which you guys obviously don’t get too many around here cause ya sure don’t know how to treat them.
When I was in Panama during the Noriega regime, one of our guys (who collected images of uniforms around the world) made a sketch of the ceremonial guards at (as I recall) the Presidential palace.
You could buy postcards with pictures of them, but he was arrested and spent a week in a Panamanian jail (they were merciful and put him in solitary) until we could get him out.
