Any of you had any weird run-ins with the police? I bring it up mostly from reading few threads about the police in OT recently.
Mine: I'm a systems analyst at a really small company. We work out of a house that's been converted to an office.
I was out on the fenced in lawn getting some fresh air on a short break, then saw 6 or 7 police officers a few houses down. I was like "somebody's bout to get snatched up!" then walked to the side of the office to throw something away. As I'm walking back out to the front yard I see someone looking over the fence right at me (due to the fences height I could only see shoulders-up on the person), then I hear "HEY! Let me see your hands!"
I realized then as I focused more it was a police officer who was pointing her gun right at me. I put my hands up and she kept the gun pointed at me until another officer came through the gate of the front yard and made me put my hands on my head and patted me down (he didn't cuff me.) They made me sit down while I was questioned about if I lived there, if I had a car, etc. Of course I'm super confused at this point lol
I had to explain I don't live there because it's an office. After a few minutes of answering questions they were satisfied and told me they were down the street because they had an arrest warrant for an "Indian guy who looks a lot like you" (um, I'm black...) According to them, when I was out on the lawn looking at them I turned, ducked down (I dropped my oatmeal bar) and walked away the second they noticed me. o_o The cop who was questioning me shook my hand and left after that.
I was pretty confused by the whole thing. I just shrugged it off and went back to work.
