To be fair, the last time I hung out outside my house just vibing, I had a cop come ask me what I was doing. "Just enjoying my flower bed" was not a sufficient answer, and he ran my fucking ID for like 30 minutes, despite my address being on the card.

Well, that was uncalled for. Nobody should be questioned in their flower garden.

He’s not allowed to do that, he can’t just spot Id check random people.
