So, this happened a few months ago. I was in my bedroom getting changed after gym, when I heard a distant 'cop knock'. My door was closed, so I figured it was probably someone knocking on the neighbors' door (I live in an apartment complex). I get my pants on; no shirt, then I hear the same knock again. So, I go to the door and look through the peep hole. There was a guy standing across the hallway looking in my direction. So, I think, this is strange; why would he knock then take 4 steps backward? I opened the door, and there was another guy to my right...he was purposely standing out of sight from the peep hole. The one across the hallway was tall, balding, and out of shape (beer belly). The other one was a scrawny, short guy. Shorty flashes me a badge, then he asks me what my name is; I tell him. He asks if I have any ID to prove it. I said 'yes, it's in my room. I'll get it.' He says "Can we come in?" I casually said 'no', then proceeded to shut the door and go get my driver's license. He kicks the door back open and says "We can't let you go back there alone in case you have a weapon back there." Now, looking back, I realize he only said this to get me to let them in and snoop around, but at the time I said 'fine'. So, the three of us head back to my bedroom. Shorty is following very close behind me. When I got to my room, I realized my driver's license is in my truck. So, we head outside, me still shirtless, and I notice they have 9mm on them. This whole time, they were being very snobbish; kind of like the attitude you would get from an insecure beta male who has something to prove by trying to intimidate others. This is one of my pet peeves.
I'm not going to lie, I was a bit nervous even though I know I didn't do anything wrong cuz, well, you know, I've never been confronted by homeland security before. I grab my license and hand it to Shorty. Chubby asks me why I'm breathing heavy, noticing I was nervous about something. I say, "I'm not breathing heavy, and I would ask you the same question but I already know the reason" (looking at his over-sized belly while I said it). He stares me down; I stare right back at him thinking, boy, I would destroy you. Shorty breaks the silence by telling me that a lot of times driver's licenses are faked, so it isn't proof that I am who I say I am. I'm thinking, I told you I was going to get my DRIVER'S LICENSE...why would we come all the way down here to my truck if you were going to suspect it as fake anyway?? I didn't say anything though; I figured the smart ass comment I made to chubby was enough for one day. He then asked me if I was Jewish. I said 'no'. He says 'you're not from Israel?' I said no. I already knew before this that I didn't do anything that would warrant homeland security to come after me, but after he asked that, I was 100% sure I was in the clear. He told me there was an immigrant from Israel who committed a federal crime, and they were looking for him to 'deport' him....yea right, I think to myself, you're just going to find him and send him on his mery way back home. Anyways, he asked if I had any other form of ID. I said I'd have to go check my room again, so we go back up to the apartment.
We all walk inside again with shorty on my a$$ once again like a dog in heat. Then, I notice chubby is going into the other room across the hall to snoop around. I'm thinking, I told you you could come in. I didn't give you permission to look through the apartment. But I don't say anything, as I know I don't have anything to hide. I couldn't find anything else that had my name as well as my picture on it, so they left it at that. They showed me a picture of the guy they were looking for; I told them I haven't seen him (which is the truth), and they asked me to keep a lookout for him. I said 'ok'. The end!
So, how would you guys have handled this? Would you have let them in your home? Obviously, I wasn't hiding anything so I figured it would be ok, but had I known they were going to be unprofessional snobs about it (barking orders at me instead of asking politely, their smug looks on their faces when they talked to me, and just the sense of 'I have a badge so I can do whatever I want kind of attitude), I probably would have told them they're not allowed in and to come back with a warrant just out of pure spite. What would you have done?
