Little story...
It was one of those great days you wake up with that pleasant smile on your face. Sun is shining, weather is sweet. So I went out of the bed and had a short look at my alarm clock: 1 pm, great time to get up and meet some friends at the park.
After a shower I went downstairs and went on. On my way I thought about the tasks I had to do to get a great afternoon and evening. I had to go to my grocery store to get some food, beer, durrys and long papers. After that I will go to the park and buy some weed. Or first some weed?
I don’t know how long I was thinking about this but suddenly I heard a female voice saying roughly ‘Excuse me, Sir. Identity check.’ This woman jolted me out of my daydreams and I looked into her direction. I was already near the main station and there always were many cops.
She was a tall dark-haired woman, about my size and looked severely into my direction. Maybe I had considered her as beautiful if she were no cop.
She was walking straight into my direction.
Identity checks are not unusual where I live, especially at public places and if you look like I do. I guess every long-haired stonerish-looking guy is considered as a public enemy where I live. I’m happy that I didn’t go to the park first so don’t have any weed with me and I can taunt her a little bit while she is doing the ID check.
‘Any contacts with the police?’ she bluffed at me. ‘Of course’ I said. ‘Every time I come here I have an ID check’. She didn’t seem to notice my bite. ‘Passport please!’ I handed her my passport and she had a thorough look at it while she was using her radio device. I really was bored by these permanent ID checks and hoped that it would pass soon and I could continue my way to the shop and to the park. But things don’t always go that easy.
‘Please empty your trouser pockets!’
Ok. Long term check. She wanted to find out if I committed the felony of possessing weed or stuff. I emptied my pockets and on a public bench and she had a thorough look at my keys, my purse and my box of cigarettes. ‘Why are there fishplates missing?’ she asked. ‘Sorry?’ I replied. ‘The fishplates at your cigarette box are missing. That’s quite suspicious.’
She knew exactly what people do with the fishplates of a cigarette box as well as I did. You roll them and use them as filters for a blunt. It was obvious.
‘Please follow me into the investigation room!’ ‘Sorry, where?’ I replied. I’ve never heard about a room like that. ‘We will continue that check inside the station. Unless you want to remain here…’ Checks like that have always been embarrassing and I preferred not to remain here any longer. ‘I really doubt that you are allowed to perform a check like that just because of pure suspicion.’
