So, this weekend at my friend Jon's LAN party, (local area network) we were going to Shoppers Drugmart to get drinks and pop. On our way there, we were running past Tim Hortons to get there in time (10 to midnight). Anyhow, we passed a police cruiser as we ran, who stopped and pulled a u-ey into the parking lot. After waiting a minute, we continued on our way to Shoppers.
Once picking up our provisions, we went to the cash only to have the same police officer bust in, and order us to get on our knees with our hands on our heads. After calling for backup and asking us our names, and where we were from, they seperated yours truely for interrigation. They asked my name, date of birth, what I had been doing earlier, where I came from, how I got to Shoppers, and what I was doing. They also asked my home address to check for a warrant.
They also pulled away my friend Nick for a rather LESS serious question session, but still, pretty intense.
Needless to say, there was a robery, young men were involved, and us 'running' to get to shoppers was enough to make us seems suspicious. I am happy to say they left us be, only after 3 other officers arrived (4 in total), and appologizing for the mistake. I'm also happy to say I didn't crack under pressure. And, am glad they are doing their jobs.
As we were rounding the bend to get back to the house, a set of red lights caught our eye, and the police, the same ones from 10 minutes ago, were literally 3 houses down from where we told them we were coming from, and going to.
We later saw them search someone against their car, and put them in the squad car. Good on them, although rather awkward about how close it was to our 'base of operations'.
So, all in all an eventful night.
