last night we ended work at 3:30am at famous off of north druid hills. i didn't have a ride home and it's kind of a hike (about 6 miles). i knew it would be a little bit of a walk but it's nothing i haven't done before so i decided to go ahead and have at it.
so after about an hour and 15 minutes i finally get to peachtree hills (my old neighborhood). i'm walking through minding my own business and a cop drives down the road and spots his light on me and keeps driving. 10 minutes later i see him creeping back again and starts to slow down. i'm thinking to myself "oh great, here we go again". so he rolls down his window starts asking me questions about where i live, where i'm coming from, what i'm doing, etc, interrogating me. i told him i was leaving work from famous and that i'm heading back to my house on peachtree. he then asks me like i'm an idiot "you're telling me you walked all the way from north druid hills tonight" and i told him "yeah, that's pretty much what i'm saying!". then he's all "well i've never heard of anyone walking that far before" (i guess 6 miles would be a little extensive for some custard sweating, lazy ass pig) but i told him "well officer, you don't know me very well then". so then he starts asking me what i know about some car break-ins in the neighborhood... i told him, i dunno b/c i'm just getting off of work! so he asks if he can search me... i kind of laughed and told him "alright, if i let you search me and you don't find what you're looking for are you gonna give me a ride home b/c i'm sick of walking and i really don't feel like talking to any cops at 4:45 in the morning". he laughed and agreed. so i let him search my bag and he's asking me "what kind of cd player do you have, what do you listen to?" i told him "not sure of the brand of cd player but i'm listening to 311 and incubus". he asks if i listen to 311 Laughing i told him "nooooo, i just keep the cd in my player because it looks cool". so then he tells me to go ahead and get up against the car so he can search me and tells me that i'm not under arrest.... i was like "uhhhh yeah, i kinda figured that out on my own officer". after he doesn't find **** on me he's like "alright go ahead and get back in the car" and puts my bookbag up front. then we start driving back the OPPOSITE direction of my house (back where i came from). i tell him "uhhhh officer, peachtree is the OTHER way" and he starts asking me for directions through the neighborhood? i told him "hey aren't you the cop? shouldn't you know where you're going?" and i realize we're going back to talk to the person that had their car broken into... lame. i asked him what was stolen out of the truck if he didn't mind me asking and he says "usually electronics, cds, etc"... sooo, after about 5 dead-ins, he finally finds his way to the "scene of the crime". there's a white guy about 20 standing outside and he starts talking to him. he asks him which truck was broken into and the guy's like "ummm, the truck was stolen officer"... Laughing i was still in the backseat at this point and said "oh yeah officer, i forgot to tell you that i have a chevy silverado extended cab in my bookbag too" Laughing he was pretty pissed at this point. then he starts taking his time, having to fill out paperwork, basically completely wasting my ****ing time while it's already late as hell. i told him to **** it, and just let me out of the car, and i'm gonna go home. so basically he drove me another 1.5 miles BACK from where i came from for no reason. i told him that not everyone with a bookbag on is a criminal and he says "well people with bookbags on at 4:45 look suspicious" and i told him that next time he might wanna get his facts straight because you were investigating a completely DIFFERENT crime. car break-in/grand theft auto... hrmmmm Rolling Eyes
then he tells me "good luck because i have a hike ahead of me"... i told him that i was aware of that when i started but him driving me a mile back down the road didn't really help it at all and to **** off. and that was my morning... Confused
