I was harassed by a police officer for putting Free Palestine stickers on a public lamp post. So much for "American freedom" lmao. Unless this is actually illegal (which he did not mention), I should be fine to just keep doing this, right?

It would depend on the laws in your city, worth looking into to be sure. It's likely they would be able to find some vandalizing/graffiti law they could throw at you if they wanted.

Now would they actually enforce that for most things, including pro-occupier stickers? Probably not, but they do like passing laws that they can selectively enforce when it behooves them. I had a Palestine flag sticker on my computer for years and I magically always got flagged for extra "random" security when I flew anywhere.

Either way, probably best to be subtle about it and not do it right in front of police.

Great, can I expect the same now? Although, I don't put stickers on my laptop.
