Whoa—just read your claim that cops are empowered to stop and harass anyone walking the street who ever has driven a car.
That is a bizarre defense of a police state that isn’t and shouldn’t be the US.
Bloody hell. Does no one possess even rudimentary readng skills any more? I said "on the street." Cars travel on streets. Not sidewalks.
And yes, cops do stop people on the sidewalk all the time.
