Anyhow, I'd say that being asked to pull over when driving a car and being stopped by the police while walking around with (or without) a camera is not the same thing at all. I think one is OK, but object strongly to the other. It should be obvious to anyone why these are different, but if you don't see it, consider the fact that driving a car is something that you need a special permit (i.e. the driving licence) to do in the first place, there are (and have to be) special regulations connected to the activity, and it is by nature associated with much a higher risk for the surroundings.
Unless you are toting a Pentax 67, which is larger and heavier than many cars, and noisier than most ;-)
