So this story (true story) is to good to pass up sharing.
Last night -- around 10 pm - I hadnt made it to the gym but wanted to get my exercise in for the day, after talking with my work out buddy we decided that we would go for a walk around my house - We start out walking down my street, we walk all the way to the other end and decide to turn back towards home.....this took about 15 minutes....we start walking back home after reaching the end - when we notice a car coming towards us...a completely normal event since we were walking down the street, but the lights on this car are bright and the car is going awfully slowly, it get closer and slower - we realize it is a cop car. It gets to us and stops, and thats where it began,
Cop- Where are you girls coming from
Us- we just went for a walk
Cop- Where do you live
Me- I live at the other end of this street
Cop- What is your name
Me- Corrie
Cop- What is your address
Me- 29
Cop- Someone called you in as suspicious, you're ok to go
Me- too shocked for words
Oh yes people -- apparently two girls walking down the street with water bottles in their hands is a suspicious act....... I'm going to the gym from now on!!

Annoying yes but isn't that better than having a real creep walking on your street and no one taking the time to report it or have it checked out? Especially if you are out at night it is nice to know the cops are around!0
-
What's more suspicious is that you have neighbors that have nothing better to do than stare out their window and watch what other people do! OMG! lol0
-
Wow - I got a gun pointed at me once when i worked in a store and it took the police over an hour to respond to the panic button!
I'm slightly impressed with the speed of their response. Must be a nice neighbourhood 0 -
I agree with jenny, I'd be out there at 3 am walking - is this America or not?0
-
Maybe it was a couple of teenagers playin a joke?0
-
At least you know one of your neighbors is on the lookout and It takes less than 15 mins for the po-po to respond to suspicious person reports!0

Yeah at least someone noticed "weird" behavior! Too bad walking down the street is weird though! LOL Way to go on going for a walk with your friend. I love quality time like that! 0 -
this has actually happened to me once, needless to say i no longer walk at night.0
-
Now you have a great story to tell everyone. You night walkers with your bottled water weapons. LOL! :laugh:0

I love it when cops ask questions that they know they don't have justification for. So irritating.
I was in our apartment pool one time and 2 cops walked in and started asking me all kinds of questions. They had no justification... it was goofy.
Them
> Me
"Why are you in here?" - Just going for a swim....
"Do you live here?" - Yes, but is that relevant?
"Whats your apartment number?" - Why do you want to know? Have I done something wrong?
"Why aren't you cooperating?" - Because you have no justification to harass me...
lol.... I asked if I did anything wrong and why they were grilling me, and why they wanted to know so much.
Don't get me wrong, I am all in support of Police, and think you should cooperate when possible... but what the hell.0 -
cracking up over here. this is ridiculous!0

If they had been hot female cops, it would have been a different story... but they were aggressive male cops. Not my type

I agree. Not only are they being busy bodies, but they are wasting police resources which your tax money pay for on frivolous things like this. They need to get a life. I would keep walking at night, and ignore them. For that matter I would probably write a letter to the editor of the local paper telling the story and reminding people that a call to the police costs us all both in the time and money it costs for that officer to come out, but also in that instead of patrolling elsewhere where an actual suspicious person or potential criminal activity was going on, he was forced because of that frivolous call to bother you two women out on your walk.0 -
That cracks me up but if he was a cop worth his salt he should have warn up just to be careful & give you a hard time.0

Too funny!0
-
Way too funny...needed a good laugh this morning...thanks!
I'd continue to walk outside at that time and keep that person on their toes! Morons.0 -
That is funny and disturbing all the same. Only in America would people exercising seem suspicious. Jeez.0

SAME thing happened to me .. except:
I was with my buddy (6'8" and about 450lbs and I was 6'0" and about 300 at the time) when the motorcycle cop pulls onto the sidewalk and "burps" his siren at us. I thought he was a friend of my buddy as he knows a lot of law enforcement people because he works at the casino, so when the cop asked us what we were doing .. I responded ...
What? Can't 2 fat guys walk on the sidewalk??
Of course, when I saw my buddies face, I realized he didn't know the cop. OOPS! LOL
Anyway, I verified my name and address and we were allowed to carry on. My buddy ripped me a new one for the rest of the walk however! ROFL0 -
