Crazy story! I'm glad you were able to handle calmly and go about your business. I would have been terrified.
I hope the officers in the OP found who they were looking for and all returned home to their families safely.
You dont see much, u just see a crap load of lights shinning at you and your car. I only saw all the weapons when they rushed my car to make sure there was no one hiding it. As of 2am, my friend said the helicopter was still flying overhead... Was a shooting that happened 2 streets down, no one was killed, though i cant find any info on it anywhere. Ironically, this happened right by disney... i was hoping no one would recognize me...
You handled that well. I would've been scared silly. I have a fear of guns. My voice would have squeaked like Minnie Mouse.
I hope they apologized to you for the mistake.
i almost got shot when i stuck my hand back in to unbuckle my seat belt... i was like, I HAVE MY SEEAT BELT ON!! :-|||||||||||||||
Heres my full story(some is back up by my dashcam).
Drive out of friend's apartment complex. Headed out to a major street.
I see a cop car drive by, but he just stopped.(Did i make a mistake?)
Made a right, notice cop car drive behind me.
See second cop car behind.
cross major street, 3rd cop cop turns behind me. (crap, whats going on)
cross another street with a cop sitting there on the right side.
See another cop car race on the other side to meet the rest of the cops.
got to left lane to head onto 5 freeway ramp, Lights go flashing with spotlights on, made U-Turn instead.
park under the 5 freeway underpass, see cop car block both sides(4 lanes behind me, 1 on the other side of the street in front of me in my lane)
Hands out window.(took them 1-2 min for them to set everything up so i had my hand out for a very long time)
open door from the outside.
kick the door open with my left foot.
Got out(forgot to take seat belt)
Got screamed at for reaching for seatbelt.
lift shirt from the coller and do 1 full turn.
Walk back to the cops voice with my hands on my head.
Get on my knees with hand on my head
Put my hands on my back... *handcuffed*
Picked me up, walked me to the back of police car
Tells me im not under arrest, im just being detained(i think thats what they said)
Searched me, Takes my wallet from pants and ID from Wallet
check to see who else is in the car with m16 and pistol on hand.(There is where i see the 2 M16s)
cops ask me what i was doing on that street and also tells me that i was wrong place at wrong time. There was a shooting on the street that i pulled out on. Witness positively ID me and my car to the crime.
4 cops drive off.
take off handcuffs.
searches my car just for fun(i wanted to say no but i was terrified and i just want to go home)
Explains everything, asked me if i understood what just happened(A sergeant was talking to me, im assuming the on duty boss?). cops weren't too happy that the witness pointed my car out...<-- their apology? never said sorry though...
I drove home finally after 15 mins...
I thought about calling 911 to figure out what was going on but i dont want to get shot!
Hope u guys enjoy my story...
