If you're part of a protest, the riot cops are pretty good at keeping a straight face and not responding to provocation. If it's just a beat cop looking to meet their quota for the day, they might find a reason to hand you a court summons. Also you probably know this, but it makes a difference if you're white and/or look like an NYU student.
Maybe nothing. Maybe something. Don't fuck around and find out.
Also, glad you survived the plane ride
My advice would be to avoid interacting with cops. And when you can't do that, be polite.
Can cops just be banned from giving testimony in court? They are routine liars.
Or just banned.
Lmao please don’t waste your privilege with this childish shit what the fuck man

If you look like any sort of minority (racial, gender, sexuality, etc) it might go poorly if you're not in a group doing it like as a protest. Lilely they'll just ignore it but the roidrage could kick in or you might be a demographic they hate and are looking to abuse. Cops like to say shit like "they seemed intoxicated, they smelled like weed, I thought they had a weapon, they matched a description" and then they charge you for "resisting arrest" or "assaulting an officer" if they can't find real reasons to arrest you like drugs in your pocket, or a pocket knife
