This is not me. This is a story from someone I know from middle school and her post is not receiving the most positive response on Facebook. It deserves to be shared and this treatment acknowledged for what it really is.

So let’s be serious for a second guys please -
Last night around 2 a.m. my friends and I decided to take a drive around Hutchinson island, and when upon returning into Sewall’s Point we made a stop underneath the causeway. We decided to stop, listen to music, and stand outside the car. Not intoxicated, not under any substance abuse, and not in the possession of any weapons - we were having clean wholesome dumb teenage fun. Without doing anything incriminating it still was unfortunately interrupted by Officer Scott Donlon, when he drove around the causeway and approached us with his lights on. We turned down the music and waited for him to approach us outside my friends car. The lights almost made it impossible for us to see his face or communicate with him without holding my arm in front of my face.
He walks up to us and says,
"I sure as hell can’t wait to hear this story."
I took the liberty to talk for my friends, because they were visibly intimidated and frightened by this officer.
I responded,
"Honestly officer, we were on our way to the beach when we decided that it was probably too late and unsafe. We decided on our drive back to stop here and enjoy ourselves. We are good people. None of us are under the influence or intoxicated we are more than willing to take a breathalyzer if you have any suspicion that we are."
That’s when he made the most disturbing comment of all,
"Yeah because running around in your underwear -"
I couldn’t believe it, he decided that my outfit of choice constituted as underwear to him. My floral top that showed my mid-drift and my high-waisted shorts was something he was going to demean and call “underwear”?
I tried my hardest not to be rude to him, but I responded with,
"That’s extremely rude and offensive sir. I don’t think my outfit should be considered underwear."
He continued to walk around my friends car trying to be intimidating and aggressive, so I spoke again:
"Sir, are you detaining us?"
Which he responded, “Yes.”
So I said, “What for?”
"For wearing underwear."
I was fuming. I was disgusted. I was baffled. I couldn’t believe that right before my very eyes rape culture was brought to light by this officer.
Again everyone - Scott Donlon, Officer of Sewall’s Point, who’s name I asked for because I was not going to let this white old privileged male think he could demean the four of us.
Luckily another officer, rolled up to us in the middle of this, he who was much kinder and diffused the situation by saying,
"Do not try him, you need to just give him respect. You could make things so much worse for yourself."
I wanted to say,
"What!? Excuse me? It’s your job to protect us, not to make us feel like our lives are threatened because he decided that he wants to be intimidating?"
Instead I said to the other officer,
"Officer, I mean no offense, and I’m sorry if I upset him, but he told us we were being detained for wearing underwear. Look at the four of us, we may be showing our stomachs, but we’re fully clothed and that’s by no means okay."
He responded,
"Well if he says you’re being detained. You’re being detained."
We were never detained.
It was all an intimidation tactic, and because of course it wasn’t worth the fight, I apologized for MY behavior and for disrespecting HIM. I let him continue to say I was running around in my “underwear.” I continued to let him say, “If I was in a bad mood tonight, I could have got you in so much more trouble.” I continued to let him discriminate my age by saying “I don’t need some 19 year old giving me attitude thinking she knows the law better than me.” I continued to let him completely dominate the situation and degrade us.
I’m not okay with this, I’m not okay with another officer fluffing his ego because he has some fucked up authoritative mentality.
Below I’ll add the photo of the outfit I was wearing, you guys let me know if I missed out on the memo of what defines underwear now.
If you actually took the time to go through my terrible grammar and read all of this ridiculous nonsense - thank you so much thank you thankyoouuu.

wow. bullshit at its finest. This is horrible to hear.

Proof or it didn’t happen.

As I read through this, I can tell through some literal holes in the story that you may be lying, first things first who are you to call someone white and privileged when you yourself are white and privileged? seawall point is not just any place that just any teen goes to let alone drive back to which I assume you live close by to or live there; that isn’t lawful to randomly arrest someone without a valid reason I know for a fact that florida law enforcement will not arrest you or stop you for wearing shorts and a floral top and neither will the seawall police department after I did a background check on the issue.. What florida officer arrest someone for that when people walk around like that in other areas in florida.
The last thing is why would anyone who has been unlawfully charged go straight to tumblr for help? shouldn’t you go to the chief with a complaint or the Seawall police department website to file a complaint or have someone or guardian call or contact the police department or the chief? why come to tumblr for justice? Unless this never happened and you just want to ruin someone’s life and gain attention and when did the officer that supposedly try to intimidate you give you his card with his contact number? What officers willingly gives you his or her card after something like that?
I also want to know if said person above is not you and you Heard this story from someone else, why is it being referred to as it happening to you ? and if you heard this from a friend from middle school how do you know if it is a lie or not?

the worst part was “rape culture”
this had nothing to do with the nonexistent phenomenon or rape at all, not even sexual assault or sexual harassment. at most this was an over sexualization of your body in order to forcibly detain you for indecent exposure, which they weren’t doing.
all in all, the asshole officer was just having a power rush. this had nothing to do with your first world “rape culture”.
this is pretty messed up, if this even happened, but don’t bring bullshit into it.
