Passes

The LawDog, a blogger and policeman, is a firm proponent of always being prepared to provide bio-degrading elements at high speed. This isn't his go-to, and he much prefers quieter ways to get yourself out of trouble. Hence the Media Pass.

Reach into your glove box, grab your Media Pass, a notebook, and a writing instrument; stare purposefully at the crowd/mob/ demonstration/ riot, and move along the periphery of the crowd/ mob/ demonstration/ riot, pretending to take notes, and waving your Media Pass at anyone who takes notice of you.

As soon as you get to a point where you can duck, disengage, and Beat Feet Away From The Stupid, do so. If there's a barricade in front of your Newest Favourite Alley, waving your Media Pass at the cops manning said barricade will frequently get you past it.
