Solicitation?

Needing some wei fei me time, I jumped into the shower. I threw on my pajamas and ran to "my Starbucks". Aproaching the major avenue of "my Starbucks",..in my jammies which consists of a green t-shirt to my knees and black loose pants.. a policeman put a million wattage light in my face while shouting "ARE YOU STOPPING CARS"? A cabdriver informed me that I was being questioned for solicitation. If I was going to choose to solicit drivers, I would have blown dried my hair.
