When cell phones with video cameras were invented and available to the masses. No way could I have made it on patrol, knowing I was likely being filmed at any moment. The first phone I saw on a radio run, I didn't even know what it was. It was bigger than a brick. I thought the guy was from the CIA or something. Imagine a cop on park foot-post in the summer, saying to another cop,"I'm going to go get some beer". He then takes off his shirt and gun-belt, hands it to the other cop. He is bare from the waist up. Walks over to a deli, buys a case of beer and brings it back to the park. A completely hypothetical situation, of course, but you wouldn't want it on video.  Im confused. Why did he strip? In the Bronx, it was called paper bags and maybe a back door. Well, he had to cross a busy road. I guess he felt going in and coming out, looking like a skell, would draw less attention. Nobody will bat an eye at you, dressed(undressed) like that in the summer. I mean he had a whole case; not the odd paper bag. It was a sight, bro. I was laughing my ass off. Best summer on the job, ever. And it was a "punishment" summer detail. They sure showed me! Great memories.
