Passive-aggressive finger to the law!

16.05.2009 by Patrick W. Galbraith


My opinions on the police presence in Akihabara are well known, as is my insistence on wearing a costume and walking the streets when I know it means they will question me. Seems like I am not the only one who is bugged by these guys. This is my new favorite shirt, because at least I can pretend to be able to defy them as they rummage though my bag.
