A private citizen’s report of a hijabi woman mailing clothes triggered a police follow-up

Evidence

So someone went out of their way to not only watch me at the post office, but basically got our license plate number, turned it in to the police as someone suspicious mailing something, and then the police [were] able to track license and registration and find us. And after, [the agent], he just said, “That’s fine, sir. Thank you so much. We’re very sorry to disturb you.” And he said, “I must explain. This is our job. We have to follow up.” And he’s saying to my husband, “You can imagine how many of these calls we get daily these days.” — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 468 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
