Oddly enough, no. Not one single story to tell of police giving me a hard time, in fact I've been with friends who were lighting up (not me, drugs/alcohol very much not my thing) and questioned by the police and they just didn't care about me. I don't know if I've got an innocent aura or what.

Back when I used to skateboard the cops used to give me all kinds of problems. Never got fined or jailed though, some of my friends did however.
I was sitting next to a gas station with someone who was showing me what kind of paint-gun he was going to use for a tournament we were planning and this cop comes by asking if we had a gun permit. He checks the gun over and said it's not smart to be showing something like that in public (even though it was nothing he could do anything about) and the dummy then wanted to search the car for anything like drugs or illegal firearms.
So when we get to my trunk and he finds my metal baseball bat inside (heh :evil: ), he got the nerve to ask me why I was carrying that around in my car and I told him that it was left over from a ball game I was in and didn't take it out yet. The strange part was where he just changed his tone all of a sudden and decided to end this right then and there. I don't know what it is with people, but when they start to annoy me, they must really get the hint or something. :rolleyes:
Also, some dim-wit pulled me over for some reason and asked me about my license, since I was in a funny mood, I just flipped it open like a star trek communicator and told Scotty to beam me up quick! Next thing I know, that cop just yelled at me to "get the hell outta here!" Still don't know why I was stopped but it was sure as hell funny.
My friend Travis and I were on the side of the road in front of my other friends Mike's house. He was sitting on his bike, I was on foot. A cop drove by and shined his spotlight in our eyes.
I waved at him.
He stops, pushes me up against the car and physically lifts and half throws, half shoves Travis from his bike to the trunk. Takes down our info like we did something, berates us for about fifteen minutes... And then leaves.
The end.
A friend and I were once pulled over by the cops because they thought we stole the car we were in.
About the closest I come is being pulled over after we just left a concert. We didn't smoke any pot, but we totally stank of it having been completely surrounded by it for the past 6 hours or so. I roll down my window and the pot stench just waffs out. The cop asks us if we've been drinking. My girlfriend holds up her snapple and says "just this", and he lets us go. We got a kick out of it.
Yeah, cops always harass me when I'm waiting for someone to pick me up somewhere or doing something similarly idle. Or they'll follow me when I'm going home and watch me go in to make sure I'm not robbing the place or something. It's annoying.
No real security guard stories. Except once I was forcibly ejected from a Dido concert, heh.
Of course, my favourite police encounter was with the LAPD.
A group of us ran across a street to get into a taxi. The taxi went around the corner, and we heard a siren and the police telling the driver to pull over.
The police officer opened the door, and told us that jaywalking was illegal. He asked for our IDs, and went back to his car. We were all nervous, then he came back and said "Since you're Canadian, and don't know any better, I'll let you off this time." Then he harrassed the cabbie, whom he's pulled out of the car, for encouraging us to jaywalk.
After he left, we all burst out into laughter.
I have that shirt. Never wore it to the mall, though.Quote:

So then they came back an escorted us out too cause of the pricks. When we got outside there was like 10 of them two guys friends out there waiting on us(guess they called their friends and waited to confront us). So then a guy sucker punches my friend right in front of a cop on patrol. We was like "hey aren't you gonna do something?" the cop was like "What you want me to do?" They ended up scattering everywhere and we made our way to the car and left. We got some lazy cops that patrol the clubbing area.
