"Sir, I pulled you over because it looked like you were going excessively fast. Do you know how fast you were going?"
"I dunno... about I hunnert, I guess."
"Have you had anything to drink tonight?"
"I've been drinking like a fish, you wanna sip?"
"May I see your license and registration?"
"Nope, I don't have either on me, I didn't think they were required on private property."

I was coming out of Publix grocery to find a Forsyth County Sheriff's car waiting for me in the parking lot once. They slowly cruised behind me as I was pushing my cart to my car. Funny thing about getting old, you forget where your car is occasionally. I must've walked up and down four, maybe five rows of cars with the remote in my hand and pointing at various cars in the lot. Once I went between two cars to switch rows because I Thought I has spotted my car. (Sigh) Turns out the row I had first walked down was the right one, and I was just a 'mite bit confuzzled' for the 15-minutes FSCO was following me.

And they didn't ask if u needed help? Lol confused citizen (OC?) walking around parking lot pointing at cars for 15min and they just followed the entire time..

Dementia is not necessarily a sign of a citizen with a dangerous mental condition. In fact, LEA are specifically trained to just follow seasoned citizens around for a while to be sure that they find their car. The deputies accomplished their task and the seasoned citizen found his car safely.
