Can a police officer search you in this situation?
One day, after school, some of my friends and I were standing on a sidewalk talking, it was about 5-6 of us. Then an old man in a wheelchair came up behind us. We didn't hear him or see him b/c he had an electric wheelchair and he didn't say anything. He was probably waiting there for about 5-7 seconds. Then he yelled "hey", then we turned around, we saw him and we politely moved out his way.
...sounds like an innocent story right?
but here's where it gets twisted:
About 10 minutes later about 8-9 police officers, about 2 coming from each direction, came up to us and on officer said "hey guys, how u doing", we said "good". Then they told us the reason they came over here was because the man in the wheelchair called them. I can't really remember why exactly the guy in the wheelchair called the police on us but I remember the police officer saying that we were blocking the sidewalk and he couldn't get pass and he said the guy heard on of us say a curse word (not at the guy, but just used a curse word in a middle of our conversation) and even though we don't remember anybody saying a curse word we just said "ok".
Then one of the officers came up to me pulled me aside and said he had to search me, they didn't give me a reason why (I have no record or anything). When the officer searched me he found nothing but my wallet full of my id's, credit cards, some money, a pen, and some class notes. In other words he basically found nothing on me. Then they searched my friends and found nothing on them either. Then they said next time stay off the side walk so people can pass. We said "yea alright" then we left.
In this situation did I (or any of my friends) have a right to refuse a search?
@Looney Dufus
omg... and this is exactly why I wasn't gonna add that detail b/c i knew someone was actually gonna ask me that. Every question i ask i have a jackass who posts senseless crap but if u must know, i turned around about 15-20 seconds before he came and know one was behind us, plus there were other sidewalk paths he could have used that would've gotten him where he was going a lot faster but for some reason he wanted to use the path we were standing on. and i never said i knew, i said he was "PROBABLY" waiting there for about 5-7 seconds.
@STEVEN F
oh I'm sorry.
Were you there? If so, you tell me what happened then....
@STEVEN F
I never asked if this was real or not b/c i was actually there and i KNOW what happened.
I asked "Can a police officer search you in this situation?". I could give a damn if you believe the situation or not.
If you're not gonna answer the question, hop off ma shit.
Thanks to everybody else who ACTUALLY ANSWER my question.
I'll remember that if this happens again.
@justagorilla
yea he really was. he's some bitter old man just lookin for attention. before the incident I seen him a couple of times and i thought he was a cool dude.
now ever since that happened, every time i see him i just give him a mean mug. lol

What brand(s) of electric scooter does Secure Horizon Insurance cover?
They had us get an electric wheelchair from Hoveround.
Ok 3 sisters have been Diagnosed with Infantile MS and Fibromyalgia Shold I be tested? Can regular doctor test?
I have done our Genealogy and nobody in our family has had either of these diseases. I have found many other things but not these. My 2 older sisters one is a habitual liar and the other is a hypocondriact. So I never Know weather to believe them or not. The older sister could not tell the truth if she had to. She would do anything to get a little bit of attention. And the next to the oldest is one of those what ever you have she has either had or has worse. I have studied both diseases as I have 2 friends who DO really have them. And on medication. But my oldest sister told me that her dostor does not feel she needs any medication for hers. But she is supposed to be going into a electric wheelchair. I told her long as she can walk and get around giving up walking is her worst thing she could ever do.
I am in pain all the time. I have days where just trying to do my house work is next to impossible. But it is a very strange pain it is the tissue mot the joint I have had it about 9 or 10 years now. Frequent urination, go from constipation to diahrea for no reason. Smells and odors really bother me especially body odor, If the stress level is high then I am worse. It is like my hands and arms do not want to work. And my arms and legs tingle most the time. It is starting to effect my vision now. But I see non of this in either sister. I just get real tired of if I tell them either one how I feel then they have the same problem. Neither one of thenm have had any type of bone scans or MRI scans. I found out by a doctor 3 weeks ago my spine is twisting and I have over 30 bone spurs where my Vertabra are breaking apart. But they say nothing can be done for it. This is why I say what ever I have they have worse.
would you amputate your leg if you were in my shoes?
I have been blind my whole life, I am now in a wheelchair because I woke up one moring and my leg was paralysed now over a year later I still have no function of this limb. I now use a wheelchair and/or crutches. which is not only dangerous but Is very hard on the euqipment (I have had my electric chair replaced 3 times over and its not even a year old yet) I've broken white cane (like 14 i think) and killed 2 manual wheelchairs. I want to remain active but my back is seriously injured from the dead weight. I can't feel my limb and I have had staph 7 times in my life if something happened I would never know. I want to walk again and not have to rely on crutches and run a safety risk. I know of many people who are amputees and although it was an ajustment they are doing just fine. so would you electively amputate your leg if you were me?
how would you say I'm not adapting? I still went to college I am training my own servicd dog, I still remain as active as possible I use a white cane in front of my wheelchair but one litle stick is not going to stop and electric wheelchair if it hits something. I'm doing the best i can but I wondering if this might be better. a paraplegic can still see there legs and see if something is wrong I can't. they can see were there wheelchair is going i can't. they can see the tips of there crutches I can't. there is a difference
