Clearly, you have never worked a 2nd or 3rd shift job.

In 1992, about 6months after I got out of the Navy, I was working building maintenance at a Hotel in Raleigh, NC.

I got off of work one night at 3am. I got into my old Pontiac Sunbird and exited the parking lot. I got half a block down the road and had 2 cop cars charge at me and pull me over. No, I was not speeding.

They approached my door with guns drawn and demanded I exit the vehicle. I was pushed to the pavement and cuffed then had to sit on my hands in the grass for about an hour.

Why? Well, about 4 miles down the road, a bank had been robbed about 45min earlier. Even though neither I nor my car matched the description of the perp and his vehicle, I was treated as a suspect JUST FOR BEING on the road at 3am. I was released after other officers apprehended the real suspect.

So, 99.9% my ass...
