Just so you know. The Palm Springs police department doesn’t care. Don’t hike, don’t go into the desert. No one will look for you. Your mom will call them every day for almost a year with no response. Every day she called. Every day.
Correct, law enforcement in the Coachella valley gaslight based on unfortunate stereotypes.
