Pulled over by a cop Whilst walking.

[ShunNakamura]

Yep you heard it. The cop stoped me while walking up to our local carry out to get a snack.

The story goes-
I was walking up my street with a freind who was going to wait at the corner for his mom. I waited with him. His mom comes around, pulls over to let him in. He says he'll drive(he gots his permit and needs the hours). Anyways I had started to continue on my way when one of the local blue boys came around the corner. He stopped beside me and turned on those flood light things under the siren(those things really hurt your eyes.. crimini). He asked me if I knew those people(refering to my freind),name, age(18) and where I was going ... for the most part I wasn't worried, after all I hadn't done anything.

The answer to where I was going was walking to the carryout. The moment I said I was walking to the carryout he fired out a lot of questions about whether I had been drinking whether my freind had been drinking etc.. I got a bit iffed here... hell the smell of alcohol can make me sick why would I drink it! He then asked me why the van had been pulled over.. (uhh.. because his mother was picking him up perhaps?).

ghh... not to mention he never turned off the darned light, so I have no clue who it even was. Mom got a kick out of it though.. she suspects it was cause I have long hair and was walking instead of driving.... gah... annoyed me.

That happens to me on a very regular basis. I get the light shined in my eyes, the usual "Where are you going, where are you coming from, why are you out, have you been drinking?" routine, and usually have to bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] for a while until they get tired of it and leave. I assume it's because of the way I dress.

RUNNIN FRUM DA PO~LICE

Heh... first time for me. And the thing is we are in small town so I can generally recognize our cops.. this guys voice was unfamiliar so I am guessing he was the new guy who had hurt my freind the last time.. meaning he could be prone to violence.. ah well, my mother is now in the "we should talk to the chef about this" stage

It's because of your hair. Trust me, people make so many judgements on hair.

[XxSephirothxX]

That's a pretty odd story. I'd look on the bright side--at least you hadn't done anything wrong and didn't get accused of doing anything you hadn't.

I'd love to reply to that kind of interrogation by saying things that are dumb, but not quite illegal.

Officer: "Where are you going?"

Me: (in hillbilly voice) "Yeehaw! I'm gonna go meet mah uncle Cletus then we're gonna go get us some mighty fine roadkill! We be eatin' good tonight!"

or

Officer: "What are you doing out at this hour?"

Me: (in mysterious, somber, moody voice) "What would I not be doing out at this hour? Your question implies there is some place better to be... that I could fulfil some kind of... purpose... were I not here. Do you suppose that this is true? Is it your belief that there truly is some meaning to our lives, some place we are destined to be and a task we must each complete? I cannot be sure. There is sadness in the world. Emptiness and pain. I walk. I avoid the stagnation of inaction. I search... but for what? Even I cannot say. All I know is that it is better to wander. And to await whatever comes. There is no driving force to keep me at home. No meaning to idle existence. Now ask me again... 'what am I doing out at this hour?'"

How about this story? I was on a vacation to Tennessee and the hotel I was staying at was near a cool weapons shop that was going out of business. Anyway, I walked over there and bought a katana and a blow gun and was walking back to my hotel which was literally 30 feet away when cops pull up beside me. They gave me this crap about some kind of weapons violation and said there had been reports of kids shooting at car tires with blow guns. Long story short, I got pissed, told them to :skull5: :skull5: :skull5: :skull5: off and was sitting in the backseat going to the station 10 minutes later. My parents had to come down and they were furious. I got my stuff back though....

I definatley think that the reason they stopped in the first place is because I have long hair.

haha Big D I actually did reply like that before (the second reply you made) but, I was cut off halfways when the cop grabbed the alcoholic beverage from my hand and asked "thought you werent drinking?".

They gave me this crap about some kind of weapons violation and said there had been reports of kids shooting at car tires with blow guns.

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.

"Please pull over."

"We're already pulled over! We can't pull over anymore!"

I have a friend who pulled the whole "I'm speeding because I have diarrhea" trick. When he saw the cops lights he splashed his face with a bottle of water and held his breath to make his face red. The crazy thing is that it worked. He said that all he had to do was let out a couple of moans and the cop was like, "son you need to get yourself to a toilet quick". I wish i could have been there.
