Quite a disturbing encounter with an officer of the law...

Let me first start off by saying:

I have nothing but respect for all law officials, I served my country in the military for 4 years, I know that's not much, but it certainly taught me a lot when it comes to uniformed personnel. Wether it be military or civil service members.

But tonight I had my first encounter with a person with convictions that were motivated by some sort of personal belief.

I left the gym about an hour ago, and was on my way home. About 3 miles from my household I was pulled over by a sheriff. I checked to see if I had been speeding. Negative. I checked to see if I had a light out, my display said I was fine. So I pulled into a pharmacy parking lot, killed the engine and took my I.D. Proof of insurance out and layed it on the dash.

The sherrif came over, looked at me, and my left arm. Now, I have a partial sleeve of Aztec glyphs and a pyramid on my left arm, as well as my newly acquired DD. Also, I'm rather young. Twenty one to be precise.

He looks at me and asks what my ethnicity is. So I tell him. (Hispanic)

He continues on to say:

"That watch isn't stolen is it? You're too young to have a watch like that. Where did you get it? Are there any drugs in the vehicle? What do you do for a living?"

I answer all the questions in a calm and controlled manner. He grabs my license and insurance. Checks them and then returns, with a scowl on his face. Probably because I'm cleaner than a surgical operating room.

He said to be careful and not to get caught up in anything that I might regret later on in life.

So, I ask the members here, particularly the younger ones... Has anyone had something like this happen to them? I found it to be quite disturbing. I'm not really sure what to think about it.


Thanks,

-Robb
