You were carrying a sword and a blow-gun in public, so they were within their rights to be suspicious, especially if there really had been an incident as they described. In those circumstances, it's better to co-operate and prove that you're not a threat.

Just had a thought... this would be cool if your cop is a really hardcore nerd:

Cop: "Where are you going?"

Me: "I AM ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION"

Cop: "What?"

Me: "I GET SINGAL. ALL MY BASE ARE BELONG TO HIM."

Cop: "Now, look here..."

Me: "IN AD 2100 WAR WAS BEGINNING."

Cop: (into radio) "Backup, please..."

Me: "I HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE MY TIME. TAKE OFF EVERY 'ZIG'!"

Cop: *pepper spray*

Me: (clutching face in agony) "SOMEBODY SET ME UP THE BOMB!"

That's hilarious!

A friend of ours got lucky once... he was pulled over and he did the Jedi Mind Trick hand-wave and said "You don't want to give me a ticket." lucky for him the cop was a Star Wars fan.

My boyfriend is really good at coming up with stuff like that on the fly. Once when he and a friend were changing a tire, a cop was on them, watching them at all, and they have no idea what they're doing (and Paul, the passenger at the time, was drunk) and the jack ends up falling and the car slams down, and Paul says "Jesus Christ, and I thought getting rid of bodies was hard." or something like that. Got the cop pretty pissed, but it was rather funny.
