But first they knocked on another door in the hallway. No answer. They searched my room. They were undercover drug cops. I did not do drugs at that time so I did not care. It was an experience for me. They asked me a few mundane questions, but they were not interested in me. I was curious to feel the vibes of these guys, as they more or less illegally searched my room, poking around in what was none of their business.
