Bonus points if your story makes cops look silly.

About 10 years ago I was living with these 2 other women- I had just moved in during a snowy January in NYC. To cut to the chase, we got broken into. I was watching let’s plays in my room at 4am when I heard boots running in our living room. One of my roommates woke to a drugged up dude standing over her, and i chased this mf down our 4-floor walk up with just my underwear on. Didn’t get to him. But the guy had stolen about $600 of my roommate’s bedside table. So we called the cops to report it.

Fucking clown car of cops come barreling in. Probably 6 of them in our tiny ass ny apartment. Tracked black slush all over the walls and even flung some on the ceiling somehow. Broke our door hinges with a hammer for some fucking reason. One cop started smoking in the kitchen- we asked him not to, and he rudely threw the cig in our sink disposal. Had us all take statements and get our fingerprints, then asked my roommate to come to the station, but she was too traumatized, so I begrudgingly offered.

Went to the station, and they handed me a binder of “potential suspects” to see if I could identify the perp. Not gonna lie, there were probably 100 black men and I didn’t get the greatest look at this dude so I didn’t feel remotely comfortable playing Where’s Waldo for people’s lives, so I just said I couldn’t tell. But THEN this cop says to me, “are you sure? Look again.” So I did, and he kept pointing to some dude that didn’t even have the same build as the guy in our apt, and he keeps jabbing his sausage finger at this picture, looking at me expectantly. I said no again, and the cops in the room audibly *sighed*. Said ‘well, odds are we might not find him.” They then told me to hang out in the waiting room until they were done with paperwork or whatever. Spent another 2 HOURS in there, and fell asleep. Woke up to the front desk that just arrived for her morning shift, telling me to leave.

Had to repaint the hallway from the police tracks, had to repair our front door on our own dime. Useless ordeal. Would’ve saved more money by not calling the cops.


All that being said, I’m a cuntstable

Cops tried to force us off even tho we were just sitting on the ground being peaceful. They decided to use force. Used their batons on me. Bruised my ribs and back. Also pepper sprayed me.

Love Chicago Police department

He ended up calling the police to report it stolen because there had been a party in our house the night before. The police came, and they made it pretty clear they thought I stole it. Two hours later, I opened the freezer and it was in there.
Lmao
Like
me and my roommate were just kinda hanging out in the living room together so I was just chillin there as he explained how his laptop was missing
The cops both just kept looking at me
And one was eventually just like
"yea...uhh...we often find that things like this were stolen by...someone close who has easy access *cough cough this dude*"
I'm a bad man

Several years ago, my friends and I were on a road trip from the U.S. east coast to the southwest. While driving through the miserable state of Iowa, at 8 AM on a weekday on a major interstate highway, my friend became very bored in the backseat. The reason being, of course, that we were in Iowa. So he decided to stick his GoPro out the window and film the drive to give himself a fleeting moment of entertainment.

Several minutes later, a police SUV came up behind us with its siren on. We pulled over to move out of its way and let it pass us. But it did not pass us. Instead, it pulled over behind us. Two police officers equipped with rifles and body armor stepped out. They approached our easily identifiable out-of-state car, guns drawn, and looked in at us. My friend still had his GoPro in his hand. They saw it, and immediately acknowledged that it was just a camera. You see, evidently, one concerned Iowa citizen had seen somebody riding in the backseat of a car with Massachusetts license plates, firing a hand gun out the window as they drove down the interstate in broad daylight. As is traditional pastime in all New England states.

The officers seemed flustered and a bit embarrassed. One of them said that if we were back home, the cops would have had us on the ground. But I never thought that was true. Nobody in Massachusetts would ever see a GoPro being held outside a car window on the highway and make the immediate assumption that it was a handgun.

While the officers acknowledged the mistake, they were still required to search our car while we waited outside. But we were on the first leg of a 3-week cross country road trip, so the car was packed full of camping and hiking gear. They opened the trunk, took a brief look at its contents, and decided it was not worth their time. They apologized and let us go, and the trip ended up being amazing.

I still hold a grudge against Iowa to this day. It's a dreadful place, to be avoided at all costs.

Bonus points if your story makes cops look silly.

One time in winter, I went to the gym with my then gf (now wife) but then we didn’t feel like actually being at the gym so we went home without working out. We get out of the car and walk up to our apartment and a cop uses the excuse “they were sweating” (assuming we were sweating because we were dressed like we were coming back from the gym) and tried to search our car on suspicion of idk drugs? And he wouldn’t believe that I lived there because my license still had my parents’ address.

So anyway we decline to let him search the vehicle and his backup arrives. Turns out, the backup was a cop who had knocked on our door like two days earlier to ask if I could turn my car around. So he was like “Uh yeah, this dude does live here. I met him like two days ago right here.”

And it still took like an hour for the other cops to convince the first cop that we did in fact live there, that we weren’t sweaty and that being sweaty after going to the gym and then driving to one’s own home isn’t like…reasonable suspicion to think somebody is dealing drugs.

Idk if that’s a very good story but it’s the only one I know because I’m not a narc.

Wait have you not seen Hot Fuzz?

Nopers

It’s so good.

Like the concept is that an overachieving London cop gets forcibly promoted and assigned to nowheresville, rural England, because all the other London cops think he’s making them look bad but it turns out there’s a slasher in this town and it kinda explodes into the weirdest murder mystery/buddy cop/action flick while also parodying all of those things.

I mean, you were literally just prompted to and didn't anyways.

Hwhere?

I quite possibly might've missed it

The fact I pointed it out at all and your response was "no one asked me to" instead of saying "no one asked me to" and then proceeding to explain. It's obvious you weren't waiting for anyone to ask you which was worse lol because you give no indication of that.
