Cant see your face, cant tell who you are, and when you are in full leathers, Gloves, Boots, they cant even tell what color you are, hell i could have been purple. all security! They thought i was going to rob it, they had to check out my house after they brought me in, and my car, and bike, and bags. Ya take your freaking helmet off. wasted my whole day.

Are there that many bank robberies by helmet wearing thieves in your town? Seems like they’re a little paranoid.

Unless you had a gun on you, I don't see the point of the rest of what you're talking about. They HAD to check out your house?

I'm sorry, but I'd be on the phone with a lawyer after that. I'd be thrown in prison if they searched my house. Not because I had done anything wrong, but hell, they walk into my house, see a few gun safes and loads of ammo and you know damn well what they'd think. Legal as it may be.

Yea it's great for a bank to be proactive against a threat, but assaulting you prematurely, then after establishing you weren't a threat, keeping you in cuffs, then violating your privacy on a number of levels thereafter. What country is this again?

I tend to agree. Once cuffed, they check you out, no gun, no ransom note, no other weapons, a good excuse (sorry man, I plumb forgot and was taking it off when you came), they should have patted you on the back and let you go about your business. Anything else is overkill. If they wanted to look at your house from the outside, no problem, anything inside they need a warrant, unless you have weed plants visible from the street or some other cause. Yeah, you should have taken the helmet off, but what threat were you? Have a gun? Have a knife? Seriously .... makes me wonder.

Sounds like a violation of the 4Th Amendment.
