I attended a conference in DC in the early 90s. My hotel was near the Capitol. The front desk gave each guest a “safety sheet.” It provided at least 20 tips such as which parts of DC to avoid, walk in groups, don’t flash cash or fancy jewelry, don’t carry a purse, try not to go anywhere after dark, keep your head on a swivel, etc. I thought, “This is our nation’s capital?”
That would be illegal now. Lawsuit.
