<div class="IPBDescription">This will make you chuckle</div> I got dropped off in a taxi by my mates tonight several hundred yards up the road from where I live, so I started running down the road home. It's cold so I'm wearing a dark hoody top over my shirt.

Anyway I run over a bridge on my way home and a police car drives past going the opposite way, it's only one of them small ones not a proper patrol car (this is the UK btw). The male officer in the car gives me a good look as he drives past and I think "hmm why's he looking at me like that...".

A few hundred yards down the road the same police car pulls up in front of me and the officer plus a female officer get out and approch me asking where I have been tonight, I reply that I have been out clubbing etc and have just been dropped off. The male police officer approches me and tries to get hold of my arm just as he's about to tell me he want's to search me, I put my arms up to let him and he jumps back about 3 feet an draws his telescopic batton, the WPC does the same and starts requesting back up on the radio.

At this point I'm thinking WTH!?! then before I know it another police car has turned up along with a police van and I'm confronted by 8 police officers <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> The pin me up against the wall and do a search then tell me what's going on <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> apparently they were looking for someone who had stabbed a man in a kebab shop or something they was given a description of a man wearing a jogging top and a skin head haircut <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Quite funny in the end but a little sketchy at the time

    Man I never thought of that......... <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    tbh they only reacted like that tho cos they thought I was tooled up with a knife. Police here arn't with anything more that a batton or cs spray if they are lucky. Public's calling for them to not be allowed to have cs spray cos a copper sprayed someone with it (a criminal btw) and they claimed to have had their vision damaged as a result.....

    Something similar happened to me about a year ago. I was walking home from work during the night when I heard these two guys shouting. I turn around and see two figures running in my direction. I thought I was going to get jumped so I legged it for about 5 seconds till I turned around again and realised it was the polis. They did all the search, where have you been, etc. Apparantly, the petrol station nearby got robbed and I was the only person nearby.

    Doesn't sound half as exciting as your's though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I did hear something about a search helicopter on their radios when I was getting questioned though.

    I was walking home from school one day last year. It had been snowing and was cold. I too was wearing a hoody but I had on headphones and was listening to music.

    A popo was behind me yelling for me to stop apparently. I had my hands in the front pocket of my hoody. He ran up to me with his holster unbuttoned, hand near his gun ready to use it...

    He got close enough to where I could hear his hollering and I turned around shocked. He looked at me oddly and as I pulled my hands out of the front pocket he got tense. I then reached up and removed my headphones. He sort of chuckled and said "oh, you're wearing headphones, I have been yelling at you for a few minutes." (or somthing like that)

    He explained to me what was going on, some failed carjacker w/a gun was seen in the area, I got home and laughed at it, it was quite amusing.

    In an, 'I almost got shot' kinda way. FYI, I had a gun pointed at my head due to some idiot buddies of mine jacking around with a toy pistol. Apparently someone called the cops and long story short we all got hauled down to the cop shop. I was let off cause I had absolutly nothing to do with the offence (as you can't be charged with accessory to being and idiot).

    You can still complain about them as it is, because they never spoke to you first, just went straight for physical violence.

    Heheh. These situations can be rather unpleasant, especially if there's a croud around. I was having a stroll in the nearby forest a year or two ago, wearing black trousers and a black jacket (obviously, they consider black as evil) and all of a sudden, a police jumper comes from nowhere. I have NO idea how could've they seen me from the main road, except if it was just a coincidencial meeting.

    The two guys came out, asking me why am was I there, and with a most sarcastic tone: "Are you waiting for someone?" I, of course, denied everything, so they searched me. Good thing I had a ton of torn papers in my jacket for some reason. Old receipts that I've never removed, hah. I had a weapons search too, bah. So after that, they demaded my edintity, filed the information and finally told me what it was all about.

    Seems like there are some drugies dealing stuff right at the place where I decided to stop and watch the landscape. Lucky me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Worst thing we get here is seeing your neighbour get stabbed 40 times by immigrants that don't get caught. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh, I've got it:

    You need a black hoodie that has in big white text on the back: "Yea, I killed that guy - stop following me already, coppers."

    ...see how that turns out.

    Replace "coppers" with "you fascist pigs" and we have a winner.
