 Got stopped by a cop about 15 years ago. It was the holiday’s and there had been a rash of break ins in the parking lot I was walking through. To set the stage, the cop watched me walk out of Target wearing red and kaki almost like I worked at the Target or something. I was walking through the parking lot to get to the hamburger joint across the way for a cheeseburger, fries and chocolate shake at lunch. Ended up being nothing more serious than not getting to eat lunch because I spent the next 20 minutes talking to this cop because I was “suspicious”.
