You must not get around too much. I’m not loving the outfit but no, she does not look like a hooker.

Thanks for your reply, SarahB. I have been wondering if it is common for police to ask about activity that looks out of the norm. Having never been to LA...I know nothing about the area. I know police would around here.

Moral to the story...don’t act like that in public...take it home. And if the police ask for id...what the heck, just show it.

Why are the cops in all these DemocRAT run cities such racists?

Many of the People of WalMart would qualify as homeless because they look like it. Should that give the cops justification for doing the same?

>>She’s dressed fine. That’s California casual, and in all fairness, you don’t know why she’s out and about.<<

I have seen MUCH more provocative clothes in airports and malls. That outfit (nor the actress wouldn’t even catch my eye.

Something stinks here and I agree with the people who think it is not OK to invent probable cause on the fly just because. Despite the fact most Police don’t like it, we have a 4th Amendment.

PS: NEVER allow your car to be searched during a normal traffic stop.

I thought having to show an ID in this country was declared “unconstitutional” (except to buy smokes, beer or cash a check) because it’s hard on dem po’ folks.

What part of the Fourth Amendment do you not understand?

Act like what? I kiss my wife in public all the time. I should “take it home?”

>>And if the police ask for id...what the heck, just show it.<<

Why? Are your rights so meaningless you would toss them away at the drop of a badge?

Arrested for kissing while black.

What bulls—t.

I’d love to bust that midget cop in the b-—s.

And I’m one here who usually supports cops.

Dressed like a “chippy”

Just my opinion.

Will you quit quoting that pesky Constitution? The cops know best.

Thanks for the link; very enlightening.

In the original decision, the court made a startling declaration:
“police knowledge of the identity of an individual they have deemed ‘suspicious’ grants the police unfettered discretion to initiate or continue the investigation of the person long after the detention has ended. Information concerning the stop, the arrest and the individual’s identity may become part of a large scale data bank.”

In other words, by the mere act of showing the police your ID you are, in a very real sense, compromizing your freedom. Imagine volunteering to have the NSA catalog all your communications.

I have a problem with the idea that I should be prepared to produce a “proper” ID everyday, everywhere I go, if a government employee demands it, except on the second Tuesday of November every other year.
