Even if you look scruffy (long hair, a couple days of beard, beat up jeans), body language is going to cover you most of the time. When it doesn't, and the cop asks you what you are carrying, tell him the truth.


If he chooses to arrest you after that, go along with the gag. Tell the judge the truth. Stress that it is a first aid and emergency kit. Or better, a handful of first aid and emergency items you carry with your daily stuff.

If that doesn't work... I doubt I could convice everyone here that breaking would be a good idea. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
