So, I just had a run-in with police...

I guess some context is needed. Just yesterday I was walking home from college, as usual, when a cop car pulled up and said he wanted to talk to me. Apparently there had been several break-ins in my neighborhood[1] and that I matched the description of the suspect. (black and white coat, carrying a suitcase)[2]

I was asked if I knew anything about the break-ins, where I went to college, for my I.D., all the usual stuff, and he had run my name through the police database[3]. He then pulled out his radio and asked if any other officers in the area could come over as he did not actually know what the suspect had looked like. A few minutes later, two cops pull up, and one of them got out, looked at me, and said "that's not him, he looks older"[4].

They then they asked to check my bag. Just my books, my lunch, and a test that read 57% on it. One of them made fun of me for it, while another said that at least I had passed. Still, at least it was over.

I just felt like sharing this and was wondering if anyone else on here has a similar story.

[1] no-one on my street (that I've talked to) knew this, and I've yet to see anything in the news.
[2] Though a lot of people carry suitcases in college/uni, regular backpacks just can't hold all those books. Hell, I've seen people steal shopping carts just to haul their stuff.
[3] Nothing came up, by the way.
[4] I still don't know if he meant I looked older than the suspect or if the suspect looked older than me.
