After the time i was minding my own business, washing my car at the car wash - and got put into cuffs "for my own safety" (according to the officers that pulled up right out of the street) - i realized that cops just make up whatever they want and call it a "reason" for their doings.

(they apologized and let me go after about ten minutes, after me threatening to file a suit if they could not validate a reason for my arrest. Turns out they were looking for a guy with a car like mine...)
