i have two instances with the police that im sure everyone would like to hear, and yes ones got phisical abuse in it, yano the juicy stuff. but i'd like to hear some of yours first. especially datruth i know he has had some kind of run in with the law
My boyfriend was coming back from Alabama after a weekend long instrument flight training clinic. Yes, he's a flight instructor. Boyfriend also happens to have dark hair, a beard, is generally middle eastern looking in his physical apprearance, and was driving our old car which is covered with (my) bumper stickers. On a rural road in Alabama he was stopped by a cop. The cop approaches the car, and tells boyfriend to get out of the car. Boyfriend asks cop if there's a problem. Cop tells boyfriend again to get out of the car. Boyfriend does as he's told, and gets out of the car, at which point he is pushed against the side of the car and frisked. Cop then proceeds to rip the car apart, never telling boyfriend why he was stopped, what he's looking for.. nothing. With boyfriends belongings now out on the side of the road, his suitcase open, the cop tells boyfriend he was speeding and tells him the fine is 100 dollars (cash only please), and never does write boyfriend a ticket.
The cop was probably looking for drugs, and figured he'd stop this sort of hippy looking guy from out-of-state, be a hero by making a big drug bust of a few grams of pot, and was royally po'd when he found he'd wasted his time coming up with absolutely nothing. I'm sure the 100 dollar "fine" went right into his own pocket.
When boyfriend gets home and relays this to me, I tell him he has to follow through with a complaint against the cop. His response, "Tell who? And tell them what?" No witnesses, no citation issued.
