Cindy, DFO: Close Encounters w/Blues

Cindy writes in the comments section: "I just experienced a close encounter with a bail bondsman and SPD officers who tackled a runner at Fred Meyer. Right in the produce department! The dude's head hit the floor and it really did sound like a watermelon." Which reminds me that I saw a female ISP officer stop and arrest a twentysomething right in front of my house on Good Friday evening. Dunno if it was for DUI. Or what. But the ISP officer called a transport van to take the guy away. Then, last evening, my wife encountered a possibly homeless male who had been rousted from City Park. He appeared to be asleep but he told us as we walked by that he was merely praying. He couldn't understand why the police wouldn't let him pray in the park.

Question: When did last have an indirect encounter w/police as you went about your business?
