I once had a cop draw on me.

I once had 5 officers surround me and draw their guns. Ordered me out of the car, my wife was in the passenger seat. I had done the evil thing of looking at an abandoned house that was going up on auction. All I did was drive to the front of the house, but stayed well away from it, but it freaked out the nighbors I guess. For whatever reason, the powers that be decided that I needed to be stopped and questioned. So they did. They apologized and let me go after that. I realize I am lucky to be alive.

I had that as a teenager. I think I was 15. About 5 of us were hitch-hiking home from a Cat Stevens concert in the mid-70s. Three cop cars with 5 cops screeched up and drew on us, yelling and so forth. After checking us for guns they explained there was a report of shots fired in the bar we happened to be walking past. It was a shack-like building called "The Cowboy Bar" sub-titled "One HELL of a bar!"

After we showed them our ticket stubs they let us go. Later one of the cars passed us hitch-hiking and waved; we waved back. Shortly after that a pickup truck gave us a ride in the back.
