When did it be necessary for a cop to know when your anniversary is?

A friend of mine was pulled over yesterday for having a headlight out. He belittled the cop, so he was arrested. Of course, his drivers license had his birthday on it, and when the were at the station, he asked to call his wife and let her know what had happened. He wasn't allowed to until he told them when his anniversary is. WTF?

Some cops are belligerent. My sister was nineteen, noticeably pregnant with her first child, and walking with her husband after a late dinner at an Old Town restaurant. They were stopped by a cop who wanted to know what they were doing out after curfew. My brother-in--law protested, "I'm telling you, officer, this is my wife!" The cop responded with, "Don't get smart with ME, punk!"

They were taken to the local precinct house, and hassled and harassed until they pulled out every piece of ID they had to prove they were over 18 and husband and wife. When they were allowed to leave, the arresting officer looked at my sister one more time and blurted, "Well, gee, you look like you're as old as my sister!"

Linda asked him, "How old is your sister?"

The cop replied, "Sixteen."

because he wanted to see if they would come with the same date, or that they even had a date and were in fact married. that’s not too hard to figure out why he asked.

cop didn’t need to ask that, cop was giving him a hard time

Some of the cops in CA are idiots, 🚔️they used to be really bad in Whittier and a few other areas. My nephew was just a young teenager walking home with his friend one night when some cops stopped them, threw my nephew against the car and started kneeing him in his butt?! His friend ran. He was so scared and didn't even tell anyone until weeks later. He said the cop really hurt him.😔

Wtf! I'd file a complaint.
At that point they were trying to verify the truth of what he was saying. Belittling the cop was a stupid move, since even on a traffic stop they can legally murder you on the premise that they felt under threat.
@SW-User Sigh. You go on believing that, because it’s likely out of your privileged realm of experience. I’m talking about a history that goes back to the days of the lynchings back South when most law enforcement had members in the KKK. Incidentally, the Rodney King beating in 1991 was unique not because it was so violent, but because 1) he survived and 2) it was recorded so that others could witness it. To those who experienced that sort of treatment it wasn’t unusual. My own brother once had the experience of being pulled from his car and thrown over the hood, guns drawn, not because of his driving or anything he was doing, but because he was in a neighborhood where he was unknown (visiting a family member). Guess why he didn’t go to jail ?
They ran his license and discovered he was an off-duty police officer.

@bijouxbroussard Eh, if we're gonna talk about personal experiences, an officer saved my family and I from an extremely abusive step-father who always used what money we had to get drunk and high.

There's also the time the police helped protect the trailer park from the Neo-Nazis that ran a meth lab in the trailer across the street from me.

Or how about the time they helped my family catch the tweaker next door who killed our dog with rat poison.

Oh yeah, there's also the time this mentally handicapped adult attempted to rape kids in the trailer park that police came and stopped.

All my friends from my childhood were drug addicts with parents who didn't care about them. I don't know what having a real father is like. But yeah, I guess that's just only my privileged realm of experience, huh?
@SW-User Sorry, I didn’t realise that you were black. It is very admirable that police were kind and helpful to you.

Your friend could be giving a biased version of events that put him in a favorable spotlight and the police in a bad one. People don't ever like to look bad, especially when it's involves being arrested.

Testing to see if he really had a wife.

@MartinTheFirst True... but I'm not convinced most people who are lying AND who are dumb enough to get pulled over AND arrested for having a headlight out will be quick enough to come up with a made-up anniversary date if they don't really have a wife.

@MarkPaul 🤔
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@MartinTheFirst Well, seriously... this alleged guy can't seem to figure out how to avoid an arrest and in fact invites getting arrested... but seems overly concerned with calling his wife... NOT to get him out of jail, but simply to tell her what happened? Can we really believe this?
