“Also, I was pulled over and questioned by the police with no probable cause.”
Common. I remember once I was driving home from work and was pulled over in one of the trolling attempts. The officer had an obvious racial chip on his shoulder during the ordeal, and he was frustrating his partner. After asking me a lot of questions (”Where are you going to/coming from, etc.”), he then tried to play detective Columbo with me. The trouble is, he was obviously less intelligent than I am. So he starts in on this, “Oh, we have to hold you, according to the computer, you may have been involved in a robbery?” To which I replied “Show it to me, I’ve never been arrested for anything in my life.” Then he said, “No, well, no, um I mean the computer said that you had been robbed, or something like that.” So I put on my most shocked and amazed face and started to get hysterical, “I’VE BEEN ROBBED!? What’s going on, while I was at work?” Then he started to get nervous and said, “Well, no...” and I started saying, “I’ve never been robbed so it must have been while I was at work! I’m not safe to go home, please, you have to come and take me to make sure I’m safe!” (Or something to that effect.) His partner was so upset, he kept saying “Just let him go.” So then he said, timidly, “Well, no, I think it said someone reported that you were going to be robbed, but didn’t, or something. It’s no big deal.” I got even more hysterical, lol, until his partner took him back to the car. Then they started arguing at their car. Finally the idiot cop came back and said I could go. I made sure to get one last “I can’t believe it, I’m going to be robbed! You’ve gotta help me!” before I left. I’m sure that left him more ticked than before he began his angry stop.
I respect officers who uphold the law (virtually non existent, but still, there are some), but not morons who abuse it because they have short man syndrome. Unfortunately that’s exactly who police departments look for these days. And if a person doesn’t have the chip on their shoulder, they make sure they get one ASAP.
Very good.
And the part about being smarter than the cop was not a necessary piece of information. That was just assumed.
