I'm normally not a trouble maker and attempt to be a law abiding citizen.
The reason you just stated though is why I would probably go through the
roof and stand my ground, just to press and make a point. I might then find
an attorney who would only get paid if he won a harassment lawsuit (It's
easy to talk big on the net).
I realize the policeman Shel dealt with approached the situation with
kid-gloves, which is very very much to his credit. In that exact situation
I probably would not have felt too confrontational, either.
I agree that the more rope you give government and law enforcement, the more
rope they run with, the more people get tangled up, rightly or wrongly.
The probem with this sector of societies is that they're *looking* for
something that's wrong, flawed, or unusual. It's guaranteed that if you
hold any situation under the microscope, innocent or not, someone will see
something suspicious, something dangerous, something that requires
intervention.

Well, one of the reasons people wind up living in a police state is that
they call the police about everything and nothing. Soon the police are so
used to inquiring about everybody's business they think they that is their
job.
