So Walk

Reacting to the NYPD’s announcement Thursday afternoon
that police would randomly – but routinely – search the bags of commuters,
one concerned New Yorker quickly created a way for civil libertarians
to make their views black-and-white.

In a few outraged moments, local immigrant rights activist Tony Lu designed
t-shirts bearing the text, "i do not consent to being searched." The
minimalist protest-wear can be purchased here, in various styles and sizes.
(Lu will not get a cut. The shirts’ manufacture, sale, and shipment, will
be handled by the online retailer. Lu encourages budget-conscious New Yorkers
to make their own and wear them everywhere.)
