When I lived in Phoenix my roommate and I were arrested for ARMED ROBBERY when we were walking home from a movie!
Long story but it was a case of mistaken identity. First we got spotlit by a police helicopter (who we waved to lol) and suddenly we were surrounded by cop cars and all these cops yelling at us with guns drawn. In a busy convenience store parking lot with lots of people around. They searched us and handcuffed us and put us in separate cars. After about an hour they let us go.

I got home and called my mom and said "Guess what? Me and (my roommate's name) just got arrested for armed robbery!"
Dead silence for about 10 seconds and in a quiet voice she says, "Did you do it?"
🤣

The scary thing is that the very next weekend in Phoenix a young guy was shot and killed by the police because he had a cell phone in his hand. 😢

There are few situations that cannot be made exponentially worse by the arrival of the police.
@danalan @nonayadambidnes sadly true just the police showing up means someone is likely having the worst day of their life 0_o
