Without vision, it seems like it would be difficult to know if someone is a police officer or not. Even if they handed you a badge, it would probably be difficult to know if it is real. Essentially, I have to trust that someone is a police officer if they tell me they are unless I can find something that is suspicious. Also, I would be reluctant to give them my wallet or ID unless absolutely necessary.

Sounds scary for the individual and I hope they got all the money that was spent back and that they are safe, but holy crap the racism in the comment section.

The story is navigating like shit on mobile, so I may be missing something...

But, how'd the kid get the wallet? Did the blind guy just hand his whole wallet to a stranger rather than the metro pass or whatever? Seems... strange.

EDIT: And he believed a 14 year old was a cop? I have so many questions not answered by this article.
