Sadly it is the very nature of human government use of force that attracts sociopaths to these positions. Each one of them loves to "lord it over you.*
"My friend - the cop - called it discretionary power."
That is a euphemism for "rule of man" instead of "rule of law." In other words, it is the arbitrary use of force. Very sad, but I understand it is very true and real, especially when you are facing it.
It sounds as if you're taking some wise precautions. I hope filming with the GoPro doesn't just antagonize them!

Sweetie, I know you are very busy now, but maybe after Steemfest, you might find some time to read about the new world that's coming? I've been writing a fictional series about how wonderful I expect it to be, and I want to always keep inviting you to learn about that coming world and to join me and my friends there.

I can't say surely when it is coming, but I am very sure that it will come one day.
Take care, keep a low profile, and stay safe out there. ;)
