Cellphone?
Don’t know the neighborhood or whether there ever was an actual problem but that “voter protection” tag is reminding me of the O’Kenyan election where the Black Panthers were guarding the polling entrys. And the grey Uni looks suspiciously like somebody trying to fake , maybe, a county official but without the necessary ID tag? Be good to know what the guy’s “spiel” is.
As bit of a side note, I have catalogs that source a lot of common public official dressage. So it can be pretty easy to look like one. It gets kind of funny regularly. I’m always fully dressed, like something might go wrong. When I’m in a store, public office, DMV, where ever, people seem to think I work there, ask me questions, open doors, etc.
