  • Report to the nearest re-education booth at once. Please be sure to apply sufficient conductive gel to the electrodes this time. Thank you for your cooperation.

    My parents were yelled at for taking pictures on a public wharf thing last time they were in California, too. You should complain to the local board of tourism.
