I was "asked" to exit my vehicle by no less than 6 officers pointing their service pistol directly at me and yelling at me... I was walked backwards, hands on head to a police car and cuffed, thrown down on the hood and very physically frisked (ever had someone literally pull your balls down ... yeah) I stood with my hands behind my back for 10 minutes sitting on them, very painfully (i am a big dude, but i was larger then, over 420lbs (this plays into the story later) I was talked to like i was trash while officers begin looking through my truck, throwing everything out of place... ... Want to know why this happened? Because 10 minutes earlier someone robbed the store i was driving behind. His description was a SKINNY male (the word "skinny" was specifically used) with dark hair and a beard. Even through the window of my truck, if you could tell i had a beard, you could tell i wasnt skinny. I was of course let go... but basically my truck was ransacked, left completely a mess, and I was left feeling rather victimized (its not a good feeling knowing 6 guns are loaded and pointed at you with no safety on... its a lot more impactful than you think before it happens to you) ... At the end of the day, any one with common sense isnt going to think the person who (on foot) robbed a store is going to drive right by the store, surrounded by police officers, 10 minutes later... and i didnt even match the description... yet somehow their warrantless search of my vehicle and self were totally legal and fine... These were just assholes who wanted to get all hopped up on being the hero that day... Oh, and at the end... the whole thing ended with the last words of the cop being "you're lucky we arent citing you for your license plate light being out" ... thats how cold cops are, thats what law enforcement is in America... its a bunch of losers who get handed power (because what kind of person seeks out power through a badge and a gun) and in turn, look for every opportunity to use said power in extreme ways to get their kicks... Warrants are just peices of paper... intimidation is the way of the police now. That's their preferred method of getting what they want

You know what always left me the most pissed about the whole thing. My truck being left a complete trashed mess. It took me 15-20 minutes to get it back to 90% organized. I had tapes and CDs (remember those) thrown out of their cases, my clipboard for work was broken, my flashlight was opened and the batteries thrown about. Had he been respectful of my things, it would have just been a laughing matter about how I used a "drug dealer's" driveway to turn around, but instead he ripped apart my truck looking for god only knows what, just to drive off without helping put anything back in its place.
