Yes it probably does get reopened. The point is what are the consequences of that
reopening. If you are inconvienced for a day or two and your actions monitored for a
while to see if you are involved in potentially dangerous actions, so be it. If you
are interfered with (arrested harrased etc) that would be wrong. But individuals often
take provocative actions in order to provoke a response so it always surprises me when
the same individuals are upset when they succeed in their provocations.
