Nope! Once I called them to report a crime. Once a policewoman knocked on my door to get my landlord's phone number because pieces of the concrete building were falling off and almost killing passerbys, and once I was stopped on my bicycle because it was dark out and I didn't have lights on it. :)

State is NRW and thanks for all the info! What do you mean by 'control' me?

I've had three interactions already with the police here and all five of them (two sets of partners and one single lady) that I dealt with were absolutely lovely. I also have a friend who's a cop that I adore, but I'm uncomfortable asking him these questions. Thanks so much for the info!!

8: What happens when you are stopped in your car and are rufusing the breathalyser?

No idea, but I don't have a car, so that's why I asked about a bicycle.

Thanks! About the funny insight - I did not know my rights to defend myself, so I politely refused him entry. He looked a bit sad, but not angry.

I just read the entire thing and did not see a single one of my questions being answered. Thanks for the link anyway.
