It’s common to see someone walking down the street with their hands in their pockets– especially when it’s cold outside. But the cold wasn't enough to convince one “nervous” resident who called 911 after spotting a man trying to keep his hands warm.

A police officer in Pontiac, Michigan responded to a call around 4:30 p.m. Thursday. The officer captured the encounter on video using a smartphone.

“You were walking by,” the officer said to the man just before pausing to respond to a radio call.

“Walking by and doing what?” the man asked.

“You were making people nervous.”

“By walking by?” the man asked again.

“Yeah, they said you had your hands in your pockets,” the officer said.

“Walking by having your hands in your pockets makes people nervous and call the police when it’s snowing outside?” the man asked in a surprised tone. The officer then asked the man what he was “up to” and whether it was an “inconvenience” to talk to the officer.

As usual. But I found these parts amusing:

Quote
In Michigan, a police officer stops a man who apparently was doing nothing wrong. They both pull out their mobile phones and film each other.

Quote
A bystander must have looked at this scene and wondered. Two men pointing cell phones at each other in the middle of a cold street, as they talk.

What was amusing is a seemingly random snippet within the article.

Quote
Recently, an Iowa police officer stopped a driver and tried to accuse him of being a pot smoker because he played frisbee golf. Even though he knew he was being filmed, the officer continued his questionable line of questioning.

Intriguing read indeed.

If I were a cop I was arresting everyone who has his shoes without strings.
If you don't wear strings are obviously a criminal.

Oh, and girls higher than 1m70 are certainly hookers.

What about a papillon? People must not be allowed to wear such a thing!

"Hey, what's up with the face? ... Your face. What is going on with your face?"

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I've seen some commercials for a new smartphone that auto films both sides at once.
