Robbery with a gun. I match the description...

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, I was on my way to art class at the college. We have have designated smoking areas I saw the cop go by I thought he was going to ticket the person next to me for smoking there. Well I went into class someone who went in after me told me the police wanted to talk to me. I then proceeded out the door to talk with them. They started asking me questions and I had no idea what was going on. Then they said why are you so nervous. I told them, "Wouldn't you be nervous if the police start questioning you and you don't know what the f**k is going on?". The female officer agreed with me. She then began telling me that I match the description of a suspect involved in a robbery with a gun. She stated, "The description is a "White, Male, Red Hair, black pants, white shoes, white shirt with stripes." I then said I didn't do anything I swear. She then began calling in a warrant to search me for a gun and money. I told her I would give her and the other officer consent to search my bag without a warrant as long as all they were looking for was a gun and a bag of money. She began looking in my bag and searching my pockets etc. I looked at her and told her that this better not be a joke. After searching she demanded to know what I was doing at what time and if I had proof. I told her I road the bus to the campus arrived at 8:49PM and began walking to the art building and then I waited a few minutes before going in. I didn't think she believed me. Then I finally told her and the other officers to check the campus security cameras to see if I was indeed there. She stated, this campus does not have cameras. The other officer said we can check the cameras on Fulton where the stop was. They then took my name down and put that they questioned me and I am a suspect on a paper. I told them I didn't want my name on that, she then said, "We have to do this it is mandatory."

This totally made me not feel good. It was hard keeping my cool because I was being treated like they didn't believe me even though I had an alibi on film.

I wouldn't worry about it. They just don't know what they're doing. Maybe you could've said you're Autistic when they asked why you were nervous. They see someone who acts a little different that's all. They just don't understand. They probably lied when they said the robber was wearing what you're wearing.

oh, hey, I got chased down the street with a butcher with a large dry salami because my husband and I were in a Deli in San Francisco and he thought I was Patty Hearst! (this was in the 1970's) My hubby had to lock me in the car and have the guy call the cops while I was freaking out and trying to find my dern wallet - that I was paying for my meal when he lept over the counter at me, and it was in side the Deli.

That was harsh. ..be cause I wasn't Patty Hearst, but I wasn't believed for quite a while.

This makes me angry because while they are wasting their time harrassing you, the guy who did it is still roaming around with a gun. I do think though that people with Aspergers have a slightly noticable "gait" and posture which makes us stand out more.

miserylovescompany, the blinking duck in your avatar is quite disturbing

i agree with the point you've made, though...

so what happens when they harras the real robber?

I have been stopped by the police for looking suspicious going on far less that that description, simple for looking down at the ground. If the description is reall then you are a doppelganger.

You're not going to be arrested over extremely vague circumstantial evidence. And if so, you'll have one hell of a potential lawsuit to threaten the police with.

Cops suck - Everywhere in the world

If people committed no crimes, then cops would not be necessary.

Hate the disease, not the treatment.
