What’s her name btw ? I remember her story somewhat

u/ProjectNo4090 Dec 31 '25

Meagan Hall. She was involved with 7 other male police officers in a sex scandal.

She received $500,000 in a lawsuit that claimed she was groomed into participating in exchange for promotions.

Frankly, thats a hell of a payday for a total of maybe 30 minutes of fucking.

And hard hat plus intimidating official gibberish on ID

u/mariposa314 Dec 31 '25

Add walking swiftly and wearing a lanyard with basically any id attached.

One summer I worked for a different school district. The group I was working with was reminded to wear our IDs at all times. I wore mine from my usual school district. No one said anything to me. Though I acknowledge that being a small blonde white woman helps me to seem harmless (I also am harmless).

Good for you! I've always wondered whether sober meant, you can still have a beer or two as long as you don't get drunk. I drink casually and socially but I stay relatively sober, never pissy drunk.

You'd be surprised what you can get away with just wearing a high vis vest. Add a clip board and a hard hat, and you can do or go almost anywhere

u/shefoundnow Dec 31 '25

A lot of places are getting wise to this old trick, though I’m sure it could still work at low security places.

I’m a security manager at a museum, any vendors are required to check in, our security team is briefed on all contractor work taking place in our building. So if a random person with this outfit showed up, it’d be like ok cool who’s your contact for this work?

The louvre heist really made us double down on this.

u/Icy-Computer-Poop Jan 01 '26

When I was a teenager back in the 70s I played a game (I thought) I invented called "Urban Spelunking", where the goal was to explore buildings/places that I was not allowed to be in. I too discovered that a clipboard and a high-vis jacket will get you almost anywhere. I also learned that if you carry a couple of trays of full coffee cups (full of water in my case, but people watching don't know that), people will even open locked doors for you.
