My bf & I parked on a field side of a residential street.
(No funny business)
Leaving after sunset, the car battery died.
Bonnet up + another battery + jump cables, but to no avail.
We slept in front seats.
We were then woken up by 4 police officers
Apparently a neighbour called the cops when mechanic trouble is obvious.
P1: told to us to exit car, then made a fuss when I went to put my shoes on and asked if anything was in them.
P2: I don't recall being asked/given time to even respond, and put their hands in my jumper front pocket.
Then asked if I had ID, I went to grab my handbag to get it for them and P1 practically snatched my handbag (didn't put up a fight obviously) and started going through my purse even after finding my licence.
The car is my bf's friend who's overseas, no outstanding fines as far as we were made aware.
Why were they allowed to search me and my things?
Possible reasonable suspicion?
And what would allow them to search the car?
