Ive been in this situation before and it SUCKS! I was delivering pizza ages ago and was on my way to a delivery when a cop pulled me over. I wasn't doing anything wrong so I was kind of confused, but pulled into a parking lot and parked. The cops got out and immediately pulled their guns on me and took cover behind their cruiser. Within seconds, there were 4 more cop cars pulled up and surrounding my car. I had 5 cop cars surrounding my car and at least 7 cops all with their guns aimed at me and screaming at me to get out of the car. I was freaking out! Ive dealt with anxiety issues my whole life and this caused me to have a huge panic attack, which pissed the cops off more, because it took me a minute to comply. It wasn't till I was face down on the asphalt (in the rain btw), till one of the cops said something like "hes just a pizza dude, this isn't him", and all the cops got back in their cars a sped off. It took me a good 15mins before i was able to catch my breath and calm down from my panic attack, and hours after that before i could stop shaking. To this day, anytime a cop gets behind me, I start having anxiety attacks and have to consciously try to calm myself down.
I had something like this happen. A huge SWAT team -- six cars full of pigs -- invaded my house.
Turns out a neighbor with dementia and a crooked pig. -- later fired for stealing from a police fund -- falsified evidence to get a search warrant relating to a bank robbery I had nothing to do with.
Absolutely no trust for the pigs here.
That's awful. I can't even imagine being in that situation. Just knowing how trigger happy cops are I would be so scared.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
They did that to me for walking on the sidewalk with a backpack. Apparently I matched the description of a purse thief from the grocery store down the street. “Male, backpack”
Yep that's called a Terry stop after the SCOTUS case that made it legal everywhere.
The kid is 3'10" they're looking for a teen that's almost certainly 5'7" or more, that's not a mistake that's abject stupidity that makes Vincent adultman slightly more believable.
You should have sued.
Hah, good luck with that. Remember when they gave a guy $5k after destroying his house? Compensation for mental injury? No way in hell.
Depends on where they live. If they live in a conservative area, you’re probably right. But where I live you can totally get a payout. I mean, you’re not set for life or anything but it’s enough to buy a lot of therapy, time off of work, and mushrooms to make that anxiety go away.
