Some of y'all have been out in the sun with your tinfoil hats on again.
News flash: Cops may not have called for backup. He probably called dispatch to tell them he was parked somewhere talking to a citizen when the other cop came over to see what's up.
OR, the "backup" officer, who from the OP's original post knows the OP, knew the OP's jogging route and schedule, put 2 and 2 together and came over.
Really, some of paranoid exercisors of your rights are also your own worst enemies.
This really kills me:

I had less than a gram of pot on me and was smoking with a buddy on break in my parked car in the lot at work. As soon as we finished, the Narc Unit rolled up with lights on and arrested us.
1. You were in possession. Dope's illegal. Smoking dope in public is off the chart stupid anyway.
2. I'm calling BS. Most cops are too busy to check every car with someone smoking to see if it's dope or a cigarette. Either you or you buddy were already known to the cops as stoners or dealers or else you were doing somethign else to attract their attention.
I've heard a similar story before: Some guy told me he was just walking down the street, minding his own business with a joint, and the cops busted him. I later was able to glean from him that it was actually 2:00am, in an alley carrying a VCR, smoking a joint. Hmm, doesn't raise any suspicion at all, does it [/sarcasm]
