Police questioning why I wasn't looking at them and asking if I have a condition (Autism)
Last night at 9 pm, my 5-year-old nephew escaped from home. I phoned the police, and they found him and brought him home in about 20 minutes.
Once they arrived at my house, the cop asked me to go to their car to get my nephew, who had escaped from home. So I walked to the car, and one of the cops asked if I had any idea why he escaped. I told them that my dad forgot to lock the door when he left, and I guess he wanted to be out on his own. The cop stopped me from walking to the car cuz he questioned why I wasn't looking at him when talking to him. Uhh, because I'm walking away?? And I just don't like eye contact, that's it. He tells me he thinks it's weird that I wasn't looking at him when talking to him. Ok cool, I don't care; I just don't like eye contact. The other cop asks if I have a condition. Uhh, why does that matter?? I told them I don't need to disclose personal information like that and just want to go to the car. They tell me some BS like they're just trying to figure everything out and that I'm not in trouble. Yeah, yeah, whatever. And then they finally let me go to the car to bring my nephew inside.
Next time police ask me anything, I'm gonna stfu because we do indeed have the right to remain silent. Idk if this was some psychological tactic and they were just trying to get a reaction out of me and get me arrested. Luckily, I remained calm, but man, that was annoying. This was in Canada, btw, if that matters.
What a bunch of clowns.
