I'm sure that adrenal rush when those cops walked up to you though was not fun.
Yea that pretty much sums it up winter break. Yes coming out of the bathroom to police officers detaining you right before you work is not what you want to hear.

I told them that I wasn't worried after I realized what they wanted to know. I didn't do anything wrong, and if was my bike I would want the same thing.

So you work for security and you get hassled by them?
Well, funny you mention that. A couple of police officers talked to me afterwards. One cop was telling the other cops when I wasn't around ...yea that guy rides from Scottsdale. (Thats a long way for them). They were all impressed. I won't get hassled again that's for sure.
