Shel, that was an investigation. The fact that it ended amicably for
you and the officer doesn't change that.

Investigation!? Where'd that come from. There was no investigation, just
a simple, polite chat for a few minutes. IMO, an investigation involves
quite a bit more than asking to see ID and what I was doing in the
neighborhood.
I've asked this question several times and, from what I've read, no one's
answered it: What are the police to do when someone calls them with a
complaint or concern? If they ignore it or dismiss it, the citizens will
be all over them like flies on ****

The real truth is, nothing warrants that intrusion. It's equivalent to
saying you're guilty and now we're going to investigate it. If you're
innocent...
It's a pre-emptive action lacking any crime as a provocation.
