Bob Dylan got picked up by the police in Long Branch, NJ. Long Branch was one of those blue collar, working class, diverse Jersey towns that happen to be by the sea. With the real estate boom, developers came in and gentrified a stretch of the town near the ocean. Board walk, restaurants, high rise condos, and the like. Just beyond that lies a collection of smallish single family housing, not in the best upkeep, small city lots and home nonetheless. Dylan went wandering in that neighborhood and got stopped. The Globe has the story here, the Baltimore Sun opines here.
"Watch for plain clothes" doesn't quite fit since he was picked up by a uniform. Look out kid, something you did.
