Between periods, pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal fluctuation, menopause, etc it seems like a 24/7 nightmare

First, MOST public employees are entirely ignorant of the law. It's basic freedom of the press & you have ZERO right to privacy in public spaces. Cops especially , given their ego, control & violence pathology, THINK they know the law.

If you're not familiar with 1st amendment auditors, here is a few links to get an idea what they do:

1st Amendment auditors are people who film in public to test the government's fidelity to law. They are part of a political movement that advocates for 1st Amendment rights, which include the right to record public officials & employees on public property.

How they operate
1st Amendment auditors typically enter public property, film, & ask questions without identifying themselves.

What they're testing for
They are testing to see if public officials will respect their First Amendment rights.

ACLU advice on what to do:
If a govt employee encounters an auditor, you can try to have commonly requested documents ready to limit the time of the encounter. You can also refer the auditor to a FOIA officer to request records.

The U. S. Supreme Court has recognized a "paramount public interest in a free flow of information to the people concerning public officials." Other federal courts have found that the 1st Amendment freedoms of the press & speech protect the right to film in public spaces with one stating "A citizen's right to film government officials, including law enforcement officers, in the discharge of their duties in a public space is a basic, vital, and well-established liberty safeguarded by the First Amendment."

My 2¢: EVERYONE should know their rights. Period. Most people's interaction with LEOs is traffic stops. PLEASE print this guide for what to do if you are pulled over. It's essential.

Full disclosure: I am an alien and I DO NOT UNDERSTAND MANY FUNERARY RITES OF HUMANS.

In the NYC tri-state area, (maybe the Northeast USA in general - I don't know) they take the dead body & (whole train of cars) procession for a ride past their old house and in the case of cops/fireman, usually past their firehouse or precinct. ITS FUCKING BIZZARO WORLD!!

Usually after the burial a lot of the entourage goes to the diner for brunch/lunch which is the one thing I support that both Christians & Jews here do. Then maybe the closest friends and family back to decedents house to (for Christians) get drunk and tell stories about the poor sap.

Like I said, I don't get you humans a lot of the time but I think the Jews are closest to the best way to mourn (with a BIG exception to the Vikings send off to Valhalla - THOSE GUYS KNOW HOW TO PARTY!)

The Jews "sitting shiva" makes sense to me. Simple pine box. Buried as soon as practical. No rabbi needed - head of family does "service". Set mourning period. Go to decedants house instead of sanitary clinical depressing funeral home where some preacher who never met the guy does a eulogy. EVERY visitor brings / orders food so you don't cook for days or weeks. Sit on uncomfortable box to remind yourself your not supposed to be comfy & cover mirrors so you're not concerned with vanity - all so you can truly focus on the decedant. All old photo albums throughout the home broken out for guests to look at. Everybody kvells, noshes & yentas in their shmatas.

So? What's it like by you? Does any other faiths funerary rites appeal to you? If It were up to me every cemetery would be turned into a park, preserve, trail, ball field or playground.

I've given some thought to Parsi (Zoroastrian) rites (another faith I admire very much) & the Tower of Silence for myself but will likely be made into a tree, plant or a diamond.

Is the Northeast just fucking insane with the drive by corpse?

They are totally free and safe!! But only for a limited time, so you should go as soon as possible.

The benefits can range from avoiding painful periods to preventing cancer!!
