how often do you (a non stealth camper) get moved on by police/the public?

asking bc im in the planning stage of a van i intend to take up north to enjoy the highlands with, and I might be hoping to lift the suspension and fit some bigger wheels to it to handle the poorer road conditions up there (and maybe offroad a little bit), and I'm curious how much attention things like that bring you, especially if you have to stay in a city at some point.

There's nothing I'd want less than to be woken up at 2 in the morning and told to move after a long day at uni simply bc the tires gave it away that I was living inside it. I'm sure you know the feeling well!

Likewise how often do you stealth campers get moved on if you're here and reading this? the comparison could be helpful for me (and any lurkers) to understand how big the difference is. If you've tried both, even better!

(newbie question) how would you guys suggest setting this emerald cut stone (mostly) flush with the silver?

please excuse my poor soldering like i am genuinely SO new to this omg 😭. ill fix it before i try setting the stone but i wanna know if i should change anything about the silver to make setting easier

im just not really sure what the best way to do this will be because the stones "thicker" than the silver is. maybe i should take some 1mm round wire, dremel out the inner corners and make prongs to hold the stone?? but that seems like a faff and beyond my skill level rn. Should i maybe just try gluing it in place???? that feels so shabby but idk 😭
