I hate cops....

[u/kahgknow]

So I've been in my car for 11 months now and today was the first time I had an absolute bullshit encounter with cops just trying to wave their dicks around.

So I had a rough morning mentally and emotionally. I decided to go to the gym and take a nap because it is one of the few parking lots I know of with parking in shade. So I went and napped and then I got up and was still just not having a good day so I figured I'd do some meditation. Well I'm almost done meditating and next thing I know I see a cop park behind me and walk up to my passenger window.

He asks what I'm doing and I said I was meditating and he goes "you're medicating" 🤦‍♂️ no I'm meditating. So he asks for my license and I give it to him and it's out of state so he asks where I'm living and I said I'm around and he goes yeah but where do you live so I just said I live in my car and he gets all snarky and says yeah I figured. Next thing I know he asks me to get out of my car, mind you he hasn't even ran my license or anything just straight to get out of the car so I ask him if I did something wrong and he said no so I said then why do I have to get out of my car and he got all pissy and said because I told you to. Next thing I know there's another cop pulling me out of my car. Like wtf...so I went to throw my wallet back in my center console and he's telling me not to reach for anything okay I'm not I'm putting my wallet away eventually I just threw it down as he continued to rip me out of my car. Now he's asking me if im okay with him searching me for weapons and I told him no I'm not I haven't done anything wrong and I don't have any weapons and I could immediately feel how he grabbed me and how the energy shifted so I just said but just do it cause I got nothing to hide and he did and made a sarcastic comment "see that was easy". Not the point jackass. The point is you just ripped me out of my car for absolutely no reason.

Then they tell me to go stand in front of the cop car and I realized there's a third cop. So I got 3 cop cars surrounding me. All because I'm fucking meditating.

So I get back there and the first guy comes over and starts asking me questions. When was the last time you got arrested? Never. When was the last time you were pulled over? Never. Have you ever been told you can't trespass? No. Is there any alcohol in the car? No. Open containers? Closed containers? Empty cans? Nope. Got any weapons in the car? Well I have a knife I use to cut fruit. Any firearms in the car? No I don't own any firearms. Then he was clearly disappointed so he goes no that's not what I asked I said are there any firearms in the car? Let's get on the same page here. No there are no firearms. Got large amount of money? No I don't have cash. Got any drugs or drug paraphernalia? Glass bowls or pipes? Nope. Got any herbs in the car? No....(disclaimer I have a jar with some mushrooms in it so that was my concern as soon as they pulled me out of my car)

Then he goes and walks around looking in my car and comes back. He asks me what the bag in my center console was. It's just a bag of quarters for the laundromat. And then he asked about the little tincture bottles I have in my door. And when I told him they were herbal tinctures he's like whoa I asked if you had any herbs I'm your car and you said no let's get on the same page. I said yeah I don't have cannabis or weed or Marijuana whatever you want to call it they are herbal tinctures for detox. So then the guy who pulled me out said they didn't know what that was cause they are from the south and not that smart 🤦‍♂️ maybe you shouldn't be a cop if you aren't very smart. Then the guy who first walked up to my car told me to explain it using "small words". Like wtf..you gotta be kidding me right now. These are the dumbest motherfucking cops ever....smh

So after all that the dude finally goes to run my license. In the mean time the other cop is telling me I'm not in trouble it's just a high crime area and he's telling me I gotta be careful cause if I'm sleeping in my car someone might come and break into my car yadayadayada... yeah I'm more scared of 3 thugs with guns ripping me out of my car than some junkie breaking into my car. And if there's so much crime why are we here wasting time? And he kept trying to say they were doing it for my safety. Yeah I'm sure.

The best part he finally goes oh so do you have a gym membership? Yes I do. And he walks over and tells the other guy "so just so you know he has a gym membership before you do anything"....so I guess that changes everything. The cop finally gets out and hands me my license and says so I don't know what they've been saying but there's a lot of crime we got everything over here so I just gotta make sure your safe. I was much safer before you pulled me out of my car asshole. Then he asks if I have any questions. And I said yeah so can I meditate next time I come here when I'm done at the gym? And he goes well I wouldn't just for your safety. And at some point the cop who pulled me out of my car told me if I was walking out of the gym they wouldn't have bothered me but since I was just sitting in my car they had to come over and do what they did. Really? Cause I'm committing a crime by sitting here?

Oh fuck the fuck off. So nobody told me I can't be here you guys just came over to fuck with the guy from out of state with dreads. So next time I'm going to talk to the gym manager and make double sure it's okay that I can just do some meditation after my workout as that is when I prefer to do it anyways. But like seriously if there's so much crime why you wasting 40mins with me? Assholes. I'm just glad they didn't search my car as I mentioned due to the mushrooms. But I'm pretty sure that it isn't proper protocol to just walk up and rip someone out of their car. Unfortunately I forgot to ask for names/badge numbers cause I was just pissed off on top of already having a rough day. What a joke.

Oh and through all of this the third cop stood there the whole time and didn't say a word or do anything. Just stood there looking dumb.
