These stories about random people in the US that get arrested for flimsy reasons are deliberate. You don't want this to happen to you and so you will start to act more careful, you align your actions to what is “expected” by the authorities and not just rely on being allowed to do anything that is legal.
Installing this feeling is on purpose – and this works even if you don't belong to the groups of people currently targeted.
@Lapizistik Activists should take a leaf out of Steve Biko's page. Go en mass to police stations and demand to be arrested, effectively DoS'ing the police system.
