When I opened the door and told them I didn't consent to them entering the apartment they literally cuffed me for 'seeming agitated' and apparently if someone calls the police and tells them that you are a harmful threat to someone they can do that. So...I learned something.

Eh, I'd contact one of those free city lawyers to see if this is legit and follow up with a paid one if they say it's not. I'd also request a transcript of your moms 911 call immediately.

as a sovereign citizen (when i'm drunk enough), i project an air of authority that makes cops innately understand they have no jurisdiction over me

Lol I left my phone in the car Sunday night, didn't answer my phone Monday morning because said phone was in the car, my mom texted me a few times then called the cops because she thought I was dead or something. Which apparently gives them permission to search my premises. They knocked on the door, then went out in the backyard searched the garage. So then I opened the back door and was immediately cuffed because I guess that's what happens when someone tells the police you might be dead.

We chatted about the NCAA tournament and the new Zelda game, I literally had to pause a podcast on my laptop while cuffed because the officer didn't know how to do it, they took my blood pressure and left.

It was...a weird day.

Welfare check. Did they ask for ID? Have to wonder what they were thinking--garage check for suicide via CO2? Handcuff you to make sure you are who say you are and not some ne'erdowell robbing your house after selling you into white slavery?

Police doing anything is terrifying, I had two beers over two hours (w/ food!) last Friday and got pulled over for driving over the lines and I thought I was going to jail until I blew a .028. The dude told me that the test needed the air in the bottom of my lungs so I'm like 'So that's the air I'm not giving you' and did this bitch blow onto the device and the guy kept yelling at me that I was trying to cheat the system :lol:

The time before that I was 100% convinced I was going to get shot by the cop, the guy was completely freaked out and kept reaching towards his gun. I could not imagine being black in this country, I'd have a heart attack.

The first time I visited France and saw a cop with a gun, I felt really nervous but I guess it's not as weird if you grow up with it.

The only reason I answered the back door was because I share the garage with my neighbors (duplex) and I guess they had left it unlocked because I looked out the kitchen window and saw two of them in there. I figured there was like, someone on the loose in my neighborhood or something. Turns out not :lol: jesus christ yesterday was horrible.

No of course not, and when they see a persons FB or other personal pages being visited a zillion times they do that thing that the Westworld robots do and are like "doesn't look like a hilariously easy association to make to me" and move on.
