"The new police portal, which can be found on the SJPD website, offers a speedy way to report people they suspect of solicitation, through submitting physical descriptions, license plate numbers, and photos."

So you can flag personal descriptions in an area as suspicious. I am part of a neighbourhod watch, and it is amazing how many people are flagged for pulling over to answer thier phone; for circling the block to find a parking spot; for using a public restroom but not buying anything.

This is not a good look for society when normal, legal behaviours are redefined as reasonable suspicion.
