The speed at which a lot of white suburbanites will call the police is staggering. When my family used to live in our previous home, we would often make fun of the fact that our Boomer neighbor would stress out about a car parked on their area which they couldn't recognize, asking us if they should call the authorities.
We sort of just laughed it off. Like why would you engage in such a paranoid overreaction? Who cares about some random car parked for longer then is polite?
I really can't understand that level of suspicion for an entirely innocuous phenomena.
I bought a drone during the beginning of the pandemic and flew it around my neighborhood for all of about 30 minutes before the cops were at my door.
Also some woman down the street called the cops on a contractor, who was out working on her next door neighbor's home, for taking a nap in his truck during his lunch break because she "didn't know who this strange (read: brown) man was who was hanging around her neighborhood".
The Yukkubian mind is truly an enigma of fragility and fear, that I'd never wish for, even for every privilege it could possibly gain me. I do feel a little bad for people living in what must be a constant state of pointless paranoia.
