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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

The vast majority of public parks are closed between sundown and sunup. Derp. YDI

But the sun doesn't go down until 10 o'clock in Texas this time of the year...

Don't be pissed at the cops. Be pissed at whoever called them. Who sits in a park after hours in the back seat of a car, and doesn't realize it's not suspicious? I used to do the same thing, but when I got stopped by the po po, I didn't bitch cuz I knew they have a job to do! And btw, most of the time two cops get dispatched to a call (yes even the glorious "city cops". It's not "backup", it's officer safety. One officer is dedicated to interviewing and contacting subjects, and the "cover officer" is there to wAtch over everyone, cuz he can see things the contact officer can't.

No they aren't you idiot, they are there to protect you, but just like any job there are good ones and bad ones. But how many times do you hear a news story about a cop who did their job well? Not ******* ever, you only hear about it when they screw up. So stop bitching and be happy you have them.

That has happened to me. No biggie. That is a bit early to have someone call the cops but usually police officers are friendly and just see if everything is okay. Don't call them dumb just for doing their job.

this totally happened to me not long ago. one cop showed and said it was suspicious, and then he called for back up. then searched my car saying they smelled marijuana when i have never smoked in my life, and took me in.

That happened to my brother. He was sitting in the Jack in the Box parking lot with his friend, eating jack in the box. Then like 3 cops surrounded him.

If a cop doesn't have someone else with him in the car (sometimes they travel alone) they are required to call for backup before they proceed into a situation. They don't know if you have drugs or guns or a knife. It is suspicious for you to be in the back of a car at a park after dark and they are just doing their job especially if a concerned neighbor called it in. Most of the time they will just ask you to move along and even apologize. They can't not come out and check out the situation. I had cops one time stop and ask what my boyfriend (at the time) and I were doing in a parking lot of an abandoned store. We had gotten caught right before trying to do the nasty and the dude asked "is he hurting you" and i said no so he just told us to move along. Big freakin whoop. At least they didn't drag your ass in for some ridiculous charge.

#2, where would I find an 18 mile per hour zone? And you may have been trespassing. Next time, talk at home.

yea no shit its suspicious. welcome to real life. not everyone who sits in their car in a parking lot at night is just talking. cops have a right to be suspicious and call for followup whenever they want. how was he supposed to know you were just talking back there. how does he know you're not a heroin dealer with a few grand worth of drugs in your car and a strap in your hand ready to blow his head off.
