Unexpected Trouble -
I was walking along snapping pictures, just doing my thing when I seen a secret service vehicle parked near where I was. In all honesty, for some reason I thought it was just a prop car, put there for the tourists to check out. So I proceeded to take a bunch of pictures of it, and stage as if I was getting into it. Hahaha Turns out it was a REAL in-service vehicle!! It raises mad questions in their heads when you put your hands on their vehicle!
A female Secret Service officer approached me and was wanting to know why I felt the need to touch her car. As if maybe I could have been acting out a devised plan. Like some Oceans 11 shit! Haha Her car was parked in front of a huge bank; located in close proximity to the White House. Her and her comrades have plenty of shit to worry about on a daily basis.
She proceeded to ask me where I was from and the nature of my visit. How long I would be there, etc. I was pretty nervous at the time because I was completely blind sided by the encounter. Those officers can be pretty intimidating. Lol When the encounter came to a close I desperately wanted to get a picture with her(And probably drop Steemit on her) for a potential future post, like this one here; but I really didn't want to push my luck any further.
Here are the first posts of this series:
