Yesterday early, I decided to again cross that river. But I drove instead and thought it would be ok since it was early. I was wrong. Chk point at the entrance. So I went under the bridge, not knowing that another was down below also. But it wasnt stopping people like the bridge above, so I blew thru it. I drove a few blocks away and was their. Too early. Ok Ill go spend time downtown. Needed to buy a waterhose so I killed about a hour. Coming back, I drove right up to the point. The goods guy where their. So I got out to ask. A guy in a pink shirt, young, typical cholo look but matured said nothing yet but soon. So I asked if it was ok to park here and he said yeah. Turning on the radio, I waited. Suddenly, minutes later, I notice the guys running in panic. I quickly turn on my car, not knowing what to expect. I left quickly, but not quick enough to not see thru the rearview mirror that it was the fed police. I turn left and again left. Then got on a wide street and just drove. To my horror, the fed truck that I saw was behind me. He put on his torrent lights and I heard them say pull over. So I did, and quickly turn off my car and as the young officer in his full fatigue outfit and machine gun at the ready got to my door. As he ask me to let them chk my car, I was already out the door, and opening the truck. He just look and saw I had nothing. Surely he notice the brandnew water hose on the passenger st. He ask if I lived their, where they had seen me pulling away. I told them no. I was their looking for a nephew who had not come home. "He drugs himself." Another one of them asks, and I said yes. Since they didnt find anything, and I gave them a credible story, they told me to go on my way, and took off. I got back in the car. And said to myself, Damm that was close. Mad that I didnt just get what I wanted and also that I was stopped.Glad that I wasnt searched or said anything about the car not having plates. They where too focus I guess now that am thinking about it on getting the guys with the goods. Drugs, money,ammo etc. So I wasnt nothing to them, plus I gave them a good story for being out of place. Another pluse for looking old. What to do now? Go back and see if the goods guys come back. But I parked a way aways. Near a park where people where helping out to paint it. Curb painting, benches etc. Nice commuity effort for a Sat moring. Lots of people. Perfect place to park the car. So I went again walking slowly scopeing. Didnt see police or anything. Did a few trys and then they where their,the goods guys. They where waiting still. I asked if anything will come?Sure, just wait a sec. And soon it got their. And time was taken without effort. Just half hour before running, panic. Searches. Because some had been caught and been beaten but butts of rifles and slapped around. Cell phones taken. But they where let go since they had no drugs or guns.
And now just 30 mins later, a line of guys like me. 2 guys sorting out the pot in baggies. Counting them out. Few at a time. Like nothing happen at all. It was bussiness as usual. I got my stuff and left. Even got 10 off for the scare. Ill have to give it back and then some to get their trust. But I had mention to them, that I got stopped and searched but left alone basicly. Since am new to that spot, it was a way of building trust. I as a consumer and they as goods guys. The only drawback in noramlecy was the feds and their machines.
