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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on a date with someone I've had a crush on for a long time. It was after midnight, we were chatting in the car and I was close to having my first kiss ever. That is, until a bunch of policemen popped up to arrest my date for being a suspected drug dealer. 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 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
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 sitting behind some bushes in the dark enjoying the view, when some cops came and confiscated my night-vision goggles, then warned me for acting like a "creepy perv." 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 was at a party when the cops showed up. They asked whether anyone had a gun, but I heard "fun" instead and raised my hand. I got searched. FML
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
Today, someone left their drug bag on the table in the lounge at my place, probably a friend, and probably a mistake. The next minute the cops knock on the door and force their way in. Immediately the cop spots the drug bag and cuffs me. It wasn't even my bag. FML
Today, as a joke, I hopped in the front seat of a police cruiser and took a cute selfie while the officer was talking to someone on the sidewalk. A minute later, he dragged me to the ground and arrested me. Um… what? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you make the mistake of being black?

Yeah, no. I doubt that's legal in any place.

It's actually legal in most places as far as I know. And it doesn't even have a backwater place, it is in some western countries. Cops are allowed to investigate (and in this case, search and question) suspicious behaviour. And to add to that, train stations and local parks at night are both very popular locations for drug dealers... So it isn't all that strange really.

He was just sitting there, though, and they didn't have warrants. But they still decided to search and question OP for 30 minutes.

You people are ******* dumb. Thanks to the Terry vs Ohio case, officers have the RIGHT to search pedestrians with reasonable suspicion. However, if you say, "I do not give consent to be searched and questioned." Then they cannot search you. Gain some knowledge before you talk shit about the police you *******. IF WE DIDNT HAVE POLICE EVERYDAY WOULD BE THE PURGE.

They can't perform unwarranted searches or seizures

Did they have a warrant or probable cause ?

Even if OP was from the U.S. (Which they obviously are not) it never said he was forcibly searched he could've given consent as most people who have nothing to hide do

I'm going to avoid making the comment about warrant less stops and searches of citizens, merely based on where you are from
