Those aren't drug dealers (I've met a few, they didn't act like that...either that or I only met the really boring drug dealers). The only place you see "drug dealers" acting like that is tv/movies.
"Suspicious" is walking up to the front door of your house and checking if it's locked. It's walking into your backyard without permission. It's looking in the windows of your house without permission. It's checking the doors on your car to see if they're unlocked. I'll even grant you that suspicious could be hanging out in a running car in front of an empty house for 30 minutes or so. However, it's not dressing flashy and being loud. (Though feel free to call the cops if they're being super-loud at 1am in a residential area. That's just rude.)
If your definition of "suspicious" includes "this person doesn't act like me" with a dollop of "this person acts like the cartoon black people I see in movies", then you should absolutely be prepared to be called out.
- seabird 9y agoYou have only met really boring drug dealers. I have come across plenty of them, and only the rural and disconnected suburban operations try to fly under the radar. When you're close enough to a fairly large city, the operation running that show is usually a lot more bold/brash, and their equally brazen subsidiaries will reach out into the suburbs and rural areas. This is where things start to get extremely obvious. I'm not sure if it's because inner-city police resources are allocated toward crimes other than drug dealing, or the drug dealers don't have an understanding of what will incriminate them/draw suspicion, but you definitely know when they're working the area.
