You guys are not gonna believe this one. On my way home from my parents' last night, around midnight, I got pulled over because my license plate light was out. No big deal.
But the cop was acting real funny, kept shining the light in my eyes and asking me the same questions over and over. And he said some code numbers and stuff into his walkie. I thought maybe he thought I was drunk, but I hadn't had any alcohol all night.
A couple more cops showed up, and another one came to my car and was asking me all these questions, what my name is, my age, my social security number.
Turns out neither one of them believed that I was the same person from my drivers license photo. It is true, I looked different. The photo was taken six years ago, I was thinner, had short hair and a light beard, but come on! I still have the same eyes, nose and ears!
They asked if I had any guns in my car, then had me get out, put my hands on my hood, and frisked me for weapons.
While one continued to ask me things like where I live, and what color my eyes are, another went to his car. After a few minutes he came back with his tablet. It had my photo on it blown up to life size. They put it next to my face and finally they were satisfied. They let me go with a warning for the license plate light and no apology.
