‘With their blue and white SUVs circled around the Main Street office, at least one official was posted on the door with a semiautomatic rifle, randomly checking identifications.’
By what authority is he asking for id? I think Id tell him its none of your business and continue w/ my day.
‘With their blue and white SUVs circled “”
Why does that remind me of the UN ???
Good point. From the story in the MSM (which may well have left some things out), this was just a consensual encounter, and the folks accosted would be perfectly OK to do as you suggest.
OTOH, it was a federal building and the Feds could probably assert the right to demand ID before allowing entry. So, it would be a case of "you don't have to show me your ID, but if you don't you can't go inside".
NDAA? Don’t show ID, we arrest you as suspected terrorist?
