keep an eye out for plainclothes cops and don't engage. They generally look like bored dads.

Shoes can sometimes be a giveaway. They wearing sneakers? Less a chance of being a cop. They wearing the same shoes/boots as the cops milling around are? More likely to be a cop.

This is anti-boot discrimination.
