[quote]It was like 1am and I was in a parked car with like 4 other people. We weren't doing anything illegal, but these two cops shine their flashlights down on us and made us open our doors. They tried to get us to give them our ID, but my friend and I are only 14 so we don't have any ID cards. Then the cops [b]handcuffed[/b] 3 of us (the males). Then they searched our damn car and didn't find a thing.
One of my rebellious unhandcuffed friends then asked if he was arresting us. When the cop said no, she asked how they had the right to handcuff us. He said he was "detaining" us, and that he didn't need a reason.
When they finally unhandcuffed us and drove away, we realized that was bullshit. They can't detain people for no reason.
ITT: bad experiences with cops[/quote]
UPDATE: I went down to the police station today to request a head shot of every policeman on the force so I could identity the two corrupt officers from Christmas Eve. I was told that definitely wouldn't happen. Then I gave in and just asked for a schedule of all the cops on duty Christmas Eve. I was told no in a much harsher way, and told that I had to leave.
This is definitely a conspiracy, but I don't want to get in over my head. Should I even pursue it?

Never had a bad experience with police, except one time when I was 16 walking around with some alcohol on the way to a party and they took it off me, then told me to be careful and enjoy my night. Cops in my hometown were so cash.

1 commentaire>SecondClass post >Story about Christmas Eve >Posts story in mid-January of the next year instead of the day after it happened >Doesn't seem legit

Isn't it your bedtime?

You don't really have anything to pursue here. The cop was right that you can be detained for a brief period of time like that, and the standard for being detained is much lower than for being arrested. It was inconvenient, but it isn't illegal.
-
If everything happened just as you said it did, you're a -blam!-ing moron. End of story.

You must hunt them down, you will find them and you will kill them.

What you should do is take the story to the media or threaten to do so.

If I remember they have the right to detain you for a day without cause.

10 commentairesThey handcuffed you for their own safety, that is understandable but from what you told us the interaction was not.
