So today my brother and I were walking in the woods. We went exploring off trail a bit and when we headed back to the path... there were two cops, one with his gun out, telling us to put our hands up D:

They searched us, asked what we were up to, took down our information, and checked us for warrants. Apparently someone had heard gunshots out there and they thought they had found the culprits. I was shaky and stuttery as hell the whole time (I get tense even in casual conversations X-D), which made them suspicious, and made me even shakier. But like... one minute you're hiking and the next minute a cop's coming at you with a gun... Seriously, who wouldn't be shitting themselves in that situation? X-D

Anyway, after confirming that our records were clean they let us go and that was the end of it. I still haven't fully recovered yet though. You know how if you have a stressful encounter, it replays itself in your mind over and over all day? It's still running on loop at the moment and not letting me relax X-)

But yeah, that's the first time I've ever been stopped and searched by the police. It's pretty much terrifying, I'd say
