So last week on the 11th around 2:00am after work I was out my bike ride to get some exercise. My back was killing me that night from work so I stopped to take a break over by Bollman Reservoir in North Concord.
A Concord Police officer drives by in middle of the street and asks me what I'm doing. Told him just taking a break. Right away he wanted to know my name, address of where I live and where I work. It's none of his business to start with considering no laws had been broken.
I told him there was no reason to identify myself. He was blinding me with his spotlight so I couldn't even see who this officer was. He never did get out of his car. We did get into a shouting match. He was getting very angry because I was standing up to him and didn't want to provide any I.D. to him.
After a few minutes, this officer in an angry tone yells out from his vehicle "Listen, I'm the last fucking guy you want to mess with out here"!!!
I wasn't really sure how to take that. I felt threatened by this officer. It was definitely the wrong choice of words to use with me!
So now it's time to stir the pot with the CPD and find out who this officer was. He was blinding me the whole time with his spotlight. I've already made a complaint with my senator's office and sent an e-mail to one of the captains of the CPD.
I feel like I can't even stand up for my own given rights here in Concord without being threatened by our own police officers!
