Hi, Christian. Thank you for your reply. I think taking off the sun glasses and maintianing eye contact are good ideas. The policemen on TV often wear sun glasses. I think that makes it hard to know how they are. And it looks intimidating. I hope this isn't offensive, but do they wear them to intimidate?
Christian, the man on TV that I saw shot in the back. I know this was a TV show, but would a policeman do this? What if a he said "stop" and you didn't hear him. What would he do? Even if he yelled I maybe would not hear him and so I would not stop. What would happen if he didn't know I am HoH/deaf?
I am very glad you are answering these questions. I have asked them of hearing people before, but they don't take the questions seriously maybe. My male (hearing) roommate says that a policeman would not give me a speeding ticket even because "they let go pretty girls". This is not helpful and is not true I think. I don't think the policeman gives you a ticket because of your looks! Other people say that I don't look scary to policemen because I am small and a women, but I think policemen are not scared of many people. It is not helpful. And it is not helpful to be told by people who are hearing that it is not a real worry.
I hope this isn't offensive to a policeman. Thank you!
