So I go to the grocery to get some babnana and some steak.
Evidently, Officer Friendly heard me rev my engine behind some lard ass that took like 8 minutes to get the fuck out of that spot near the door.

I'm engrossed in selecting my baananas when some guy in a quasi uniform comes up and start practically yelling at me about speeding through the parking lot(which I didn't do).
He kind of blindsided me and started out really aggressive (over engine revving). (evidently he's off duty from a jurisdiction 30 miles away in some generic dark BDU's- he could have just as easily been an EMT)

Then he askes me for my driver license
"Uhhh..I'm shopping for bananas"
Where's you ID???
"outside"

"I need to see your Id"

"I don't have it- and there no need to yell at me."

He contibues he psuedo-interregation in the middle of the produce section, so I tell him I don't appreciate the way he's addressing, and perhaps we should speak to a manager.

(We had already played the BS game of you have to leave/ now he won't let me leave)

So I walk off looking for a manager and officer friendly trails me.

He's really kind of hostile at this point, and I'm not really interested in his problems, I just want to continue  shopping.

We go intyo a manager's office - which I almost protested, but I know he'd have to resort to physical assault at that point.

Inside teh office we continue the ID /gimme your name game. Since I was on private property, hadn't broken any laws and was a customer, I wasn't inclined to play the ID game.

So then we get the 'stand up and turn around' speech.

(Officer frindly might want to get to the gym more often. When he tried to manhandle me and put the cuffs on me, he was trying to use more force, and I could have easily avoided him cuffing me if I wanted to, but since I was of the opinion i hadn't done anything wrong, I didn't want to risk any legit resisting charges)

I was under arrest for failure to ID.

He finds my electric bill receipt and find an illegal knife on me as well.

He also called the local cops to come assist.

The city cops are still in hardass mode and start the interrogation game again.

At this point, I'd rather just go downtown and call my attorney then put up with more stupid questions.

Local cop # 1 keeps asking me if I know the officer that first contacted me.

"Do you know this officer???"
"what do you mean??"
"are you stupid?? are you 4??? Do you know this officer"
"I met him about 5 minutes ago"

"Do you know this officer???"
"I don't understand the question"

"are you a lawyer..."

They're trying to sweat me like I'm an escaped felon or something....telling me when I won't produce ID or give my name, I must be 'up to something'

"maybe you just robbed a bank...maybe you just killed someone!!"

"and my first move is to go shopping for fresh produce?????"



I told the 1st officer that he had approached me in an aggressive manner and it  made me go into a defensive mode.
having run me for wants/warrants, he decides all his warning indicators are wrong, and evidently I AM just shopping for produce and takes off my new jewelry that didn't match my outfit.

Had to go back and find new bananas.

Thanks for keeping us safe.

This is where I say "In".

Almighty IN.

Did he look like this guy?

In on page 1, and before the inevitable TBL apologists.

Wow, in. This is all kinds of .

FOR FOOK SAKE, ARE THE BANANAS OK?

So can you file a complaint and post a copy for us. Thanks.

In on 1? Wow!

Wow. In.

So in on this!

I'm am confused.

Babnanas are fucking delishus!

So after all that you got unarrested?

And wtf, you revved your enjine behind someone who was not vacating their parking space quick enough?

Emory

Get a lawyer and let the fun begin.

Sounds like he revved his engine behind an out-of-his-jurisdiction JBT.

You broke the no revving in anger law!

ETA: It was probably a lesbian minority handicapped person, so it was a Hate Rev.

So if you don't leave when they tell you to, it is trespassing

You don't have to produce ID if you are not driving.

It doesn't sound like you were arrested.

That's bullshit.

well I feel safer

They are....they sure are

hmmmmm

Not if the person ordering you to leave has no authority to give the order.

There's gotta be a lawsuit in there somewhere.

Photoshop or didn't happen.

what's with dickhead cops lately....   at least he didn't bang your ass before sending you on your way like the PA cop....

He had teh badge. You had badnanas and a tongue made for licking his boots...

I'm so in.

Fuck that noise. I smell a lawsuit. Fucking JBTs protecting the bananas.

If true; you should sue.

IN!

In

Should the title say, "I was illegally detained."

No, But I'd like to call mine...

 






 

Turns out- what happened was that officer friendly HEARD the engine from inside, and ASSUMED I was driving,

He was wrong.

I drive a standard and had the clutch in, and I was sitting still.

What make babnana grow?

I think you were detained not arrested.

11518 posts . . . handcuffs . . . bananas.



Oh yes, tag.

The banana is the #1 fruit of bank robbers and murders

That story is all over the place.

come on man.

get to the details

Being white in the ghetto tends to attract the attention of the cops.  Never say a word to a cop you are not legally required to.  Many states have laws requiring you to identify yourself even if not driving, say nothing other than what is required.

In for later comment

Fucking gestapo fags.................and IN

In on one

OK, maybe the engine rev was a bit of a jackass move, but I'd be the pot calling the kettle black if I said I had never done anything similar.

That said, WTF?? If your details are all correct, talk about overreacting on that officer's part.
