Yeah, I look like trouble

So some FBLA people go to the big football game tonight. At half-time, they get bored and want me to come hang out at the park near the school. So I drive up there, we have a good time, it's time to go. There were two girls and another guy. The girls had to walk back to the school to get picked up. I was going to wait there with Danny (those of you at the party remember him) and we'd wait for his sister in my car. As we're getting in the car, a cop rolls into the parking lot. I thought he was just patroling so I get in the car and go about my business, when he boxes me in and clicks on his lights. I guess I can understand his thinking, "Look at that guy in his blue button-down shirt and white khakis, getting in his Volvo. I better check this out." So I get out of my car, and he checks my ID. He tells me like three times that we weren't doing anything wrong. Then he proceeds to search me for weapons. Then asks to search my car. Now technically, probable cause hadn't been establish and I didn't have to let him search anything, but I figured it was better to be on the good side of as many cops as I could. Danny is freakin' out the entire time. I thought it was interesting that he didn't search Danny or ask him anything. He just kept sayin' how we didn't do anything wrong, "so why the hell are you bothering me?"

That makes it twice in a week a cop has stopped me for just looking suspicious. This is getting old pretty fast.
