I was making a trip to Taco bell just around the corner during mid-day on my bike. Along the way I was stopped by a cop. He was accompanied by an older man who seemed to be clean cut but in plain clothing, collared shirt, tan slacks, etc

I asked if I had done something

His excuse for stopping me was that he said there were allot of thieves in the area whom ride bikes and he hadn’t seen me in the area before. (moved here few months ago)

The older man chimed in "most people drive" I live in a coastal area and see atleast 10 people (give or take) riding bikes every day

He asked a few basic questions like age and name. He never bothered to ask me my current address which worries me a bit but he did ask me my previous address and where I had come from before that.

I may be over thinking it, but what do you guys think?

The key things that worry me would be

#1 The older guy in dress type / plain clothing

#2 They didn’t bother to ask me my current address which leads me to believe they may already have it.

tell the "cop" to fuck off. did he shw you a badge? if you did nothing wrong, ask him to tell you what you did wrong. if he makes up a lie, get his name and badge number, write it down on a peice of paper in front ofhim. tell him that you are aware of your rights, and that you are aware of the laws, and that if you did not break any law, you would not like to take up any more of his imporant time.

and just be careful and watchfull of everywhere u go if u got a tail cars drive slow past ur house see cars that arent normall in r neggiorhood that kinda stuff

if ur under 18 and it wasn't past curfew, he had no reasonable suspicion to stop u. And i hope he didn't shake u down too.

Yeah I mean if I'm not being investigated then I'm not really worried about it, probably better not to provoke anyone. I'm working on installing new security features around my house and neighborhood. Though I am curious to know if I have any rights when it comes to the disclosure of investigation information, obviously not the "details" but rather if I have the right to know that I'm under investigation.

Don't you live in CA? What have you got to worry about, unless you are going way over the limit.

You should be extra careful, similar thing happen to me and I didnt think much of it...a month later I got busted. They were actually Feds who busted me and they were working with the local PD

yes I do, and lets just say i'm under 100 but I dont think thats the limit lol.


I'll take note of that, but at this point theres not much else I can do, I mean do I trash my entire crop from something that may or may not hold substance?

I believe there have been burglaries (or other serious crime) in that area (on bikes), and they know who you are, because they've been watching all the bike riders in that area. You are just one of the suspects in these burglaries, and they wanted to get your reaction.

I think you handled it well, and as long as you have no priors, they'll go sniffing around somewhere esle now.

Think about it; they aren't going to pull you aside, make up some BS about burglaries, and question your past, if they suspect you are growing some weed in your closet.
