>>Yes, I did. ..the kid is full of himself and he has an agenda. He was approaching the cops in bad faith. . .this is the real world I'm talking about. ..don't approach the police in bad faith. .DUMB. . .say "yes sir, I was on my way to krispy kreme to pick up some honey-glazed for my mommie"<<

Not outside of North Korea or maybe Iran.

In this country we are equals. No STRANGER has the right to be anything other than annoyed when I tell him to take a hike when he asks me questions like that.

The deep issue here is, how do you feel when around cops. Do you feel like a citizen of a free country with God given rights protected by the constitution, or do you start breaking out in a sweat and hoping they don't notice you, as a Jew in 1930's germany might have felt.

It is ALL about the quality of life of citizens, which is supposed to be enhanced by the existence of police, not damaged by fear of their attention, while you are doing NOTHING wrong.

Perfect! That is exactly what I was thinking and trying to wrap words around.
