Doesn't seem to like me a whole lot around here. In the past, when I went into really bourgeois towns like El Sobrante, certain folks would look at me strange and the cops would have questions for me. Now I LIVE in one such town.

The problem: I have a braid down to my waist, no extensions, all quite real and my own. Around here, long hair on men is a gang style, though gangsters seldom mistake me for such (they tend to think the braid is religious or something). Now the cops, whose arrest quotas are so seldom made around here, don't know the difference so easily, so if they don't have any serious business, hassling me might look like a good hobby.

My question: Should I get a haircut and hope that'll be enough to get the flatties off my back, or should I leave it long and spray myself with cop repellent~?

I guess whichever would make you feel more comfortable.

I know I wouldn't want to cut that much hair off just because it makes people judge me differently. What if you just tucked it into something or tried to hide it when you think it might get you into trouble or something?

Depends. Why do you have your hair so long? Is it because you like it? If it's because you like it, then would be be comfortable cutting it off? Or is it a part of who you are? Do you think you could deal with short hair? If you can be comfortable with short hair do it, or if your comfortable with long hair keep it. It's really all on you, what do you want? Sometimes dealing with cops is just the way of life... Cops aren't bad though, or mean. They are there to help you in most cases unless you break a lot of laws.

I've got a cop for a grandpa, so please don't try to tell me about them. Cops are, as a general rule, very stupid people with guns. I used to take Aikido with barflies, bikers and cops and for the life of me I could never tell the difference. Unless I can get them to hold my coat and call me sir, I'll be a happier person for having to deal with them as little as possible.

That's a really good question. It used to be a devotional thing, back before I converted out of that cult. Now it's because I just never liked the feel of scissors against my hair. Now, I considered tucking my hair into a jacket as was previously suggested. Doesn't work well. My mother suggested hiding it under my hat. I'd need a bigger fedora. I guess I just need time to think, so thanks for your input, both of you.
