The Shopping Cart Test: A Retired Cop on Safety, AI, and Getting Played

Three stories, one throughline: a retired LAPD cop telling you what he actually notices so you stop getting played.

One, the shopping cart test. Before you move anywhere, drive through and look at the shopping carts. Returned and put away, or abandoned all over the lot? It tells you more about a neighborhood than any brochure. Then call the local sheriff or police and just ask them about the area. I tell the story of David in Burbank, the neighbor in welding gloves the local PD already knew all about, to show you why that call matters.

Two, AI, a little bit of danger, danger, Will Robinson. The data center money just reversed, the labs are renting compute now, and the new fear being sold is that public AI can see your ideas and move on them first. I break down the car wash example, the "too dangerous for regular people" pitch, why privacy is already gone, and why everyone suddenly wants to sell you your own AI at home while memory prices climb.

Three, the Paul Pelosi Maserati hit-and-run. From a cop who worked hit-and-runs for years: a no-injury misdemeanor of a parked car gets almost no investigation for anybody. The story is real, the special-privilege angle mostly is not.

Be good to each other. Verify what you hear. Slow your roll.
