years ago, was talked to by police about something i admit i did.. they came knocking on my door on a weekend night, pounding on it i might add even though i had a doorbell....anyway, i admitted doing what they were "investigating"... but i don't think it was a crime and told them that, and if it WAS a crime, i didnt' know it was and certainly wouldn't have done it... i was "seen" doing what i did by others....
police themselves knew it wasn't "technically" a crime, but thought i guess it was the precursor to one?....
anyway, THEY TREATED ME LIKE SHIT! you would have thought i was a murderer! i have/had no police record of criminal record of any kind before, during or since... the one officer called me names even after i admitted what i did and why i did it... guess they didn't believe me..... 2nd car pulls up and asks me the same questions over and over and over and over again... turns out? they were there for over 2 HOURS!.....
don't know if this true or urban myth, but a friend told me afterwards "you do realize that after a few minutes of admitting what you did and telling your story that you could have asked and said to them " are you pressing charges or arresting me?" if not, get off my property!"...the police have/had no right to interrogate you, call you names, treat you with the most dirty looks ever given to another human being FOR 2 HOURS AT YOUR HOME?!.......the thing is if this is true i don't know, but THEY, the POLICE KNEW!.....
i did think at the time "if this is how they treat people with no criminal record or history, how do they treat those who DO have history, bad history!!!!".... their attitude and how they treated me FAR FAR OUTWEIGHED IN MY OPINION WHAT I DID and IT WASN'T EVEN A CRIME IN THE FIRST PLACE! they just thought it could have quote "led to a crime being committed! and wanted to know why i did it!" (didn't know that was part of the equation, i mean they were not detectives but police officers!"
anyway after more then 2 hours, they (the 2 officers now) still thought i was lying (i admitted what i did at the very beginning!) because according to them "it didn't make sense" and told me they were going to investigate some more and get back to me within the week...
never heard or saw from them again....however, i will NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVE THEM for their utter disrespect and treatment of me...
