Bizarre police encounter.
« on: April 23, 2013, 11:13:18 PM »
My window blinds are busted. To open and close them, I have to turn the bar with pliers. I'd love to replace them, but there are so many other things that need fixing around the house.

Around 9 PM PST, I hear a tap on my window. I thought it was my roommate, so I pushed aside the blinds. Gun. In. Face.

It was the police. He asks in a tone of a pizza delivery driver "You call the cops?". I said no, they turned around and went to the front house.

bless'ed scary man.

I just stayed in my house. I don't really care for interacting with the police, and I had already had my adrenaline spike for the month.

I think my roommmate talked to them, I was putting the dog in the bathroom. Cops + dogs = heartbreak.

I think I posted a picture of her around here somewhere, but she is an Australian Shepherd.

I would have had to ask them WTF and watched them until they left the neighborhood.

Hi.
Weird bit to me is that you said no, and they just went: "Okay", and walked away.
Did you find out what they were there for?

I might not have overtly reacted but my heart would have jumped out my throat.

Yeah, that is odd behavior for cops.

Welcome to the party, megamarkd.  It's good to see you around.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

8ully, that's just bizarre.  I can't imagine such behavior on the part of a cop, unless he thought he was pursuing an armed, dangerous suspect into your apt.  Otherwise, knocking on your window with a gun seems like really unprofessional and inflamatory behavior.

And megamarkd, great to see you here.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure my roommate talked to them while I was stashing the dog in the bathroom, but that was my entire conversation with the officer.

As to the dog, that's horrible but I could see it happen, my dog will eat anything put in front of her.

[Update] Apparently the up front neighbor isn't just crazy, she's litigious! One day while washing the dog in the yard, I heard yelling, so I walked out front to see what the commotion was. The argument broke up pretty quick, but I heard crazy lady say "We'll see what my lawyer thinks about this."

Apparently, anyone she gets mouthy with is served with a restraining order. I thought there was a burden of proof applied to restraining orders, but apparently this madam gets em like candy.

Apparently she wasn't paying her rent, and served her roommate with a restraining order.

Brilliant bless'ed plan.
