I’m always reminded of the movie Fahrenheit 451, when the police are looking for a book “criminal”. They, through loudspeakers call on everyone to be on the lookout for him.
On the street every door opens, and the people obediently come out and start looking right and left for the “criminal”.
The F 451 street scene.
