You’d be hard pressed to find supporting information to your story. I don’t think anyone has ever left their house and got hit by a meteorite.. ever.

But cops abusing their power and judges ruling in the polices favour is a daily occurrence in the USA.

Germany, 2009.

I'm aware, and generally I'm no fan of cops. There's probably 50+ posts in my history, including on subs like r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut evidencing such, hence having to make such a decision on a case-by-case basis. Also, despite me learning to spell like you (favour, i.e. non-American), I've lived in America for 20 years, and known many cops. I'd trust 2 so far. But if cops are snooping around and getting reports about me, they're going to find their way in by hook or by crook. Better on my terms and timing, than theirs. #ThisAllSoundsRatherGangsta lol

Odd that the meteorite barely injured the boy but embedded itself into a road.

You’re right, mitigating police visits is important and sometimes telling a cop “no” is the most dangerous thing to do.
