People are stupid, the police are cautious. That is essentially the problem you encountered. I don't know how someone can mistake an umbrella for an assault rifle though.
Me and friends had the police come over and interrupt a game of 'catch the large dart' because the guy watching the camera couldn't decide whether we were drinking alcohol or not. It's a genuine reason to come over, I'll give them that, but I felt insulted that they would think we would drink right in front of a camera. It just showed me the standards of today.

WOPR said:okay this just happened and I want peoples opinions on this
I was carrying an umbrella with a katana handle
obviously an umbrella
I had 3 cop cars pull me over (which I'm pretty sure is out whole police force... sadly) and they yelled at me that they received reports of me carrying an ASSAULT RIFLE!
Can anyone justify being more or less detained by cops for carrying THAT?!
on the statement "IT'S AN ASSAULT RIFLE"
EDIT: I wasn't detained it just felt like it because I had the throw it down, put my hands on my head, turn my back to them, and not move a muscle until they were done inspecting the umbrella
EDIT 2: I'm not mad at the cops (okay I'm half mad, because of the approach and overkill they took) I'm mad at the idiot that called me in as carrying an assault rifle
EDIT 3: Also when I say "Pulled Over" I just don't know how to explain "Stopped while walking down the sidewalk home (It was supposed to rain today... hence the umbrella... it was a present too)
Oh i know your pain. I used to own the trenchcoat from the Punisher movie. (NOT warzone)
In one night, I was stopped walking home by Constable O'Brian of the South Surrey RCMP (idiot)
He accused me of being a drug dealer, and only backed off when i produced My MAGIC: deck and explained that I am a Nerd, it is FUCKING COLD OUT (December) and this is a warm Jacket.
Now to his credit he hung his hea in shame and released me.
As he closed his door, another RCMP cruiser raced up, lights and sirens a-blaze and Constable McCleod jumped out of her car, PULLED HER GUN, ordered O'Brian to put his hands on his head, and for me to do the same. After she realized that she had just COMPOUNDED the idiocy of her Organization - Seriously, she thought her fellow RC was dumb enough to buy drugs off a street dealer IN A TRENCHCOAT- 1 block from the station. That's right folks, 1 block.
After all was aid and done, the Chief for S.Surrey told me "Wearing Suspicious Clothing" was inviting detainment. Since that time I have been detained for:
Wearing a backpack <= Actual contents, DnD books.
Being outside after 1:00 am. <= got my driver's license revoked for WALKING HOME DRUNK, on
the sidewalk, outside my OWN FRONT DOOR
Smoking Weed in Public. at leat 20x <= actually an offense this one, however fully 1/2 the time, I share the the nice officers, and get told to do it at home. The rest of the time I put it out and say "Legally allowed to possess 1/ 8 of dope. This is now less that 1/2 gram. Good day sir."
"Look out, he's got a gun! ... But as long as we don't get to close he can't stab us with it."
Really? An assault rifle?
Awesome Umbrella by the way. Pure. Awesome.

I unashamedly blame the Elderly, and Christians. There does not exist two groups of Nosier, more self righteous people on the planet. It isn't that they're BAD, it's that they think YOU are. White Rock BC is a very elderly community. I have had more Cops called on me for my appearance, or been detained for time of being outside in WR than I can name. Yes I am outside at 1 O'çlock. I washed dishes on the beach. I started work at 5:00pm and often got off between 12"00 and 2:00. Before you say it, we stayed away from parks, because they are closed. Tim Hortons, Grocery store Parking lots and such are a nice place for some hackey-sack before bed. Apparently this makes me an All consumingly Evil Drucg lord bent on RAping children. fucking SIGHLegion said:
You have an umbrella with a KATANA HILT?!
Screw assault rifles, those cops should have pulled you over having the most badass umbrella EVER!
...That's a criminal offense, right?

Maybe they thought you were The Penguin, which would make that umbrella shoot bullets for sure. At least now you have a great story to tell.
Sikhs are allowed to Carry knives in Canada. I have never once been threatened by or EVER felt I would be attacked. Shit in America, if that was a REAL RIFLE, and you registered it, it wold BE LEGAL. You are only not allowed to carry CONCEALED weapons.lostzombies.com said:
On the front doors of a mall I visited in S.Carolina "Please do not bring your CONCEALED handguns inside the mall." You better believe I asked a MallCop. response: As long as it is visible, and in it's holster, you are o.k.
dick move from the guy who called the cops on you...but i cant really blame the cops completely.i mean you hear about a guy with a fucking assault rifle you'd bring every guy you got (3 cars is the entire station?damn).but then again,they should have figured it was a prank call when they only received ONE phone call...and it was rather stupid that they had you stand like that when you can't really mistake an umbrella for a bleeding ASSAULT RIFLE!
at least you didn't get shot on sight,a hollow point round to the computer could really ruin your day...

You know, umbrellas, left alone, can become dangerous when their population isn't kept under control. The police were doing you a favor before it attacks you, in your home, in the night, in your sleep.
In all seriousness, I don't know if I should laugh or cringe at the cops.

Its obviously not an assault rifle.
But I can see how someone might think your carrying a concealed tanto or something, get worried and call the fuzz.
Off topic.
I now have an all new respect for umbrellas.

Some jerks called the cops on us a year or so ago because "there was a terroristic bombing" in our field. We were burning off a pasture to replant, a fairly common practice when it comes to farming. The Fire Chief, who is a long time family friend, saw what was going on, laughed, turned around, and left.
Yes, but this looks like a sword concealed in an umberella. The guy has no legs to stand on, if this story had started with "Cop shoots man that had an umberella which he bought to make it look like he was carrying a concealed sword" then everyone would be having much hilarity Darwin Awards and how much of an idiot the guy was to buy and then carry something like that around in public.SilverStuddedSquirre said:
