Today, I was breaking into a house when three police cruisers pulled up. They ran my social, my license plates, and asked me twenty minutes worth of questions, before allowing me to go back to work. I work as a locksmith; the homeowner had lost their keys. FML

I would think that the homeowner would be with him, and be able to vouch for him. Seems kind of strange to me...

I read the first sentence, then looked at the votes, and went "wtf?". Then I read the rest of the FML.

50- "for phrasing it that way"? First, OP made the FML sound 5x more interesting by starting it the way he did. & second, just because he phrased it that way doesn't mean it's not an FML & that you shouldn't feel remorse...

This FML and the one after both start out so misleading.

If i was the locksmith even with the homeowner next to me we would just look like two robbers with a clever excuse

Oh i'm sorry, here's an original comment: "Yes, we all thought it was funny, now make a funny comment, NOW!!!" Does this appeal to your taste's, Mr. Critic?

No. You just sound like a broken record. Just thumbs down the comment, much simpler.

So misleading first sentence. Well you can't blame the cops. It would look like a B&E from them.

If you got jail time, they would not be able to 'throw away the key'. As you could craft another!

I wonder what type of questions he was asking that took 20 minutes. "And what is your favorite color?"

TheDrudgeChild 4

They probably had to completely verify that he was a real locksmith and not a fraud burglar. 20 minutes of questions isn't that hard to imagine.

terrask 11

Don't worry, there's plenty to ask about someone when a police officer needs to clarify something. You should be glad, happy even that you think 20min is a long time. Means you've never had a run0in with them, keep it that way (^_^)

What if they just yelled really loudly and the cops had really good hearing? O.o

Such a stupid thing to say. Police aren't given enough credit for what they do. What if he wasn't a lock smith and was about to wipe that house clean?

Good. It's good to hear that the police are actually doing their jobs and attempting to prevent real crime, not bullshit "crime" like busting pot smokers. If you were actually a burglar they would have done the right thing.

Pot is illegal so busting potheads wouldn't be a "bullshit crime". They would be doing their jobs.

54, I think their point is that they're resolving an issue that affects people and isn't just something made illegal to save people from themselves. The police should be focusing more on the crimes perpetuated on them by others, not just arresting someone for doing something deemed stupid by the law but with little impact on the community - especially since arresting them doesn't resolve the situation in any way.
