Over the Last few days, Here in atlanta, we have had a major Ice storm, and my home internet in my apartment was knocked out. I had a listing on Ebay that was going to end on Sunday night, so I drove down to the club house in my apartment complex around 5am to check the status of the auction. I Just threw on some sweat pants and T shirt before I left my apartment. Well I pulled up, and because it was raining Ice. I parked close to the clubhouse, in a employee parking space, It was truly an accident. Well i went into the computer lounge, and 5 minutes later this cop walks in, and asks me if thats my black bmw outside. I said yes., he makes me walk outside, where 3 other cops are. They ask me for my ID. I told them I live in the neighborhood, and I just drove down to check my email. The cop says " You drive a new BMW, and you don’t get emails on your phone"? Do you have any proof that you live here"? I said , " First and Foremost, Its not part of your job to analyze a person’s electronic capabilities, secondly yes my car has a apartment complex sticker on the windsheild". So he walked over and looked at it, came back, and asked why I didn’t have any ID. I said I would take them up to my apartment and show them my wallet if they liked. They told me to stay put, and they walked into another area of the parking lot, talking. I was standing outside waiting on them for 30 minutes in a 10 degree Ice storm. Then they walk back over and say, " Ok sir, your free to go, have a nice day," As I walked away, they were giggling. Well, The next day, I woke up sick out of my mind. I’m still really sick. I went to the doctor and was told I have strep throat. The doctor immedately asked me if I had been out in the cold recently. Should I call the Police about this incident? I’m really sick, and thinking back on all, I feel like the police were not acting very professional.

   A lot of cops feel they have some high moral authority, when in reality they just need to get high.

   A lot are pretty chill, though.

   I don’t think they were professional at all, but they didn’t cause your strep throat.

   You should have said you are a diabetic with a compromised vascular system subject to risk of loss of limb if exposed to cold for long.

   They would have left you alone since, you would sue them into job loss should your fingers or toes go blue, then black, then amputated because of their nonsense.

   Did you get the name or badge number of any of the officers involved? It sounds to me like they were on a fishing expedition. I am not a lawyer, but I do not believe they have a right to ask you for your id or detain you in anyway without probably cause. Secondly, you do not have to prove anything to them unless they have a reason.

   You said " First and Foremost, Its not part of your job to analyze a person’s electronic capabilities, secondly yes my car has a apartment complex sticker on the windsheild" what the officer heard was, "Sod off you stuck up pig. It’s none of your business. Check the windshield?" As a result, he took his time verifying your information. You could file a complaint against the specific officer if you got his name and number but the investigation would take a while and you would move high on the police radar, being regularly stopped and whatever else.

   By the way, no sympathy for your strep throat as it was self inflicted. I didn’t take the 30 minutes. As a Southerner your body went into shock the instant you stepped out the door. We see you people at the football game in November wearing parkas at 40F. Snow and ice should put you into hibernation.
