Today, I discovered that sitting in the back of your car from 8 to 9 p.m. talking with a friend in a park area is suspicious enough behavior to have cops called on you, then for backup to arrive. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was chilling out with my friend in a parking lot, when a police officer came up to the vehicle and suspiciously asked what we were up to. My friend sarcastically said, "Uh, doing drugs? Planning a drive-by? Haha!" We soon found ourselves in the back of a cop car. FML
Today, I was waiting after work in a parking lot for my ride and was dancing a little to keep warm. Next thing I know the cops pull up to me and said that someone called in to report someone dancing in an empty parking lot. FML
Today, after taking my crush to the train station late at night, I sat in a local park alone with my thoughts for a while. Two cops appeared out of nowhere and started searching me for drugs and weapons, asking me questions for a good 30 minutes. Not the kind of action I expected tonight. FML
Today, I decided I'd take a nap in my car because I got to work very early. As I was waking up from my nap, I saw a cop looking right at me. Turns out, a lady who'd parked her car right next to mine after I was asleep had called the cops on me because she thought I was dead. FML
Today, I had the cops called on me for acting suspiciously. I was using a payphone. FML
Today, I was having a rough day and decided to go out for a walk at 1 a.m. to clear my head. I ended up being driven home by two cops, who thought I was prostituting myself at the truck stop. When we arrived, they had a nice conversation with my parents. FML
Today, I found an empty parking space in a crowded parking lot. When I came back later, a lady and a cop were standing by my car. Her car used to be parked there and got stolen. They think I'm involved. FML
Today, the cops showed up at my work because people were fighting in the parking lot. This is a nightly occurrence. FML
Today, I caught some perverts sitting in a car in front of my house, spying on my neighbors. When they refused to leave, I grabbed a baseball bat and they sped off in a hurry. Later, those same perverts came back to arrest my neighbors for drug trafficking. I had threatened cops. FML
Today, I parked next to a police officer's car in a bad part of town. When I got out, I saw a bag of pot on the ground between the cop's car and mine. When I pointed it out to him, he insisted it was mine and interrogated me to the point of tears. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

i don't get it...they wouldn't just call for backup...never heard of anything like this before in my life...you must've looked REALLY suspicious.

I lived in the suburbs and had this happen as well. Cops don't have much to do and so they overreact over small things like this.

Had that happen before, but without the backup. F-ing annoying. I guess I'm supposed to know that a park with a locked gate is closed when the gate is neither closed nor locked.

Yeah, the backup bit can be pretty weird sometimes. About 8 years back I was hiking thru Lousiana and stopped in at this little convenience store just after dark to restock some munchables. I paid for my goods and walked out to see a Sheriff's car parked out front. Didn't think to much of it as I figured they were probably stopping in for a snack. Then I noticed the OTHER two police cars parked just beyond it, all of them empty. As I ponder this I hear a voice behind me. I turn around to find the Sheriff and two deputies standing off to one side looking at me. Now I was in T-shirt and blue jeans at the time, but they weren't ragged or scruffy nor did I look too disreputable IMO. The Sheriff asked me my business and ID, which I told him easily enough, that I was hiking thru a few states and showed him my ID, including military. They begrudgingly said I could go but I never forgot just how near a thing it can be when dealing with any type of authority, especially in isolated areas.

They were probably looking for a fugitive on the run and just needed to check everyone in the area (ID, etc.) It's not like they're going to say, "oh his clothes are clean it's not him"...it's not like it's anything personal.

It has happened to me before, just without the backup. Most parks close at nightfall, so that may be the reason why. Question is, did you run?

It could just be that the police never truly know what they are getting themselves into when they show up to a call. Is it two people talking or a couple making out? Or is it a parolee that has a gun? I guess this shows that perception is reality...
