Of a police officer stops you in the street and says "we need to talk" what would be your first reaction? ?

If a police officer stops you in the street and says "we need to talk" what do you think it's about, what's your first reaction ??????

@Tinywhisper11 I think itβs, βOh no, what did Tiny do now.β Β π€

@PineTreeTree *gasps* How dare you automatically assume she's up to no good. She's a good, innocent Tiny. Still π², keep your mouth hushed and don't incriminate her. We need her. Now I have to go buy her π¦ to comfort her. π

@YourCaringConfidant No, you donβt understand. Thatβs not what I would say out loud but it would for sure what I was thinking. No, what I would say is, βIs this about the post it notes I put on Desireeβs car?β π€

@PineTreeTree Yayy, I knew you loved Tiny like I do! β€οΈ Hey now! Don't go incriminating yourself. Post its on my car? I didn't see anything nor do I know what you're talking about. π *snaps a picture for memories, then quickly removes all the posts its off my vehicle* Seeeeee.... what post its?Β

@YourCaringConfidant πππππ


@Tinywhisper11 obviously he looked at me and couldn't resist my beauty π, he's asking for my number! definitely not talking about the skateboard I stole from a child π€«π

@crimsonPapaya7218
no, definitely not π€£π€£π€£

@Tinywhisper11Β My first reaction is my heart starts beating fast, next I start to sweat.
@tryingtosurvive2024 then do you faint? Or run?? Or pee your pants???
@Tinywhisper11Β I'm no SAINT, that is why I start to FAINT.
Tiny, your so SMALL, they would never notice when you broke the LAW.
I only pee, when there is ANTS in my PANTS.
When I look up at the SUN, is when my blood starts to RUN.
The cops suggested that I'm CRAZY, but I told them, no I'm just LAZY.Β Β π€ͺ

@Tinywhisper11 a sigh and to ask "what did I do this time"? π
@mytwistedsoul don't worry if you ever get arrested I'll quickly set your basement on fireπ they'll never find the bodiesπ

@Tinywhisper11 Make sure it burns extra hot π π
@mytwistedsoul I will

@Tinywhisper11 π you're the best! I knew you would have my back! πππ

@Tinywhisper11
What did my son tell you this time? π
(My son is a police officer)Β
I'll put in a good word for you Tinywhisper11. π

@Tinywhisper11
Iβd ask what itβs about and what it has to do with me. My reaction whatever it is would be entirely based on what their answers are to those questions. That way I can say that my reaction is completely valid and justified ππππ



@Tinywhisper11Β In my head, I'd be thinking, "Well, great, you messed up" (even though I didnβt do anythingβit's just my go-to reaction- good old self blame). But on the outside, Iβd keep it cool, follow the "procedures" and ask, βAm I being detained, or am I free to go?β If they say Iβm not detained, Iβd just say, βI donβt wish to speak.β But if they say I am detained, I'd ask, βWhatβs the reason?β and ask for their ID. Then, Iβd let them know, βIβm not talking without my lawyer here.β
If they start asking about something like, βDid you see a suspicious person walking down that street?β Iβd probably be like, βHonestly, Iβm not the best person to ask about whatβs going on around me. Iβm kind of in my own little la la land.β Not the most reliable narrator out there.
@azurePond yeah they'd just get bored with you, and escort you out of ikea
@Tinywhisper11Β Honestly, itβs better to make the police bored of you than to catch their attention. You could always read them something like tax laws, just to keep things boring.Β π€

@azurePondΒ Since it's IKEA, you could always read them the instruction manual on how to assemble the furniture parts.


@PineTreeTreeΒ You make a valid point.Β So I am sticking to the "standard procedures * I mentioned earlier

@azurePond I heartily endorse the above procedure, but would add that one should carry it out politely. Stand up for your rights but remember...it doesn't help to antagonize a guy with a badge & a gun.

@slowdecline48Β Absolutely. The first thing I was taught when dealing with someone in power is to avoid antagonizing them (cops, lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats.... my parents ...Β ). You may not agree with their views, but I know , it's important to remain respectful. I also liked your response βΒ simple "okay" then silence and watchfulness. Listening to them can make a big difference. Sometimes, asserting your rights can come off as snarky, but usually, the way they approach you and the language they use will guide you on the best type of response to give. But yeah, I agree with you -Β A python is dangerous, even when it's not venomous so it is always better not to antagonise them (Iβm referring to people in power in general. I have respect for cops and their service.) Well, this took a serious turn.
