where i live, they have the automatic license plate scanners.
two summers ago, i got pulled over by a cop so i pulled into the gas station wonderin what the hell. by the time i put my car into park, there were 7 cops (including street-dressed) behind my car.
one of em gets on the mic and goes thru the whole "TURN OFF YOUR IGNITION" "ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOWS" "THROW THE KEYS OUT THE WINDOW" "OPEN DOOR SLOWLY" "KEEP BACK TURNED" "DROP TO YOUR KNEES" "PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK"
all with 5 or 6 guns pointed at me in the middle of college area gas station full of people.
im literally thinkin im dreamin.
they throw me in the back of the car while im askin em profusely whats this about whats this about just shocked.
they tear up my car. all this without me knowin what the hell is goin on.
i finally get a cop to tell me. he says i have 3 felony warrants for my arrest from a town like 3 hours north of me.
i got out of it tho. all because somebody else with my exact same name from my exact hometown (3 hours away) did this dirt and they messed it up in the computers.
that was crazy. good story to tell tho.
