"I imagine it was his belligerent, uncooperative attitude coupled with suspicious behaviour that gave them just cause."
That still wouldn't be just cause to detain him. Being uncooperative is not a crime.

For that matter you don't have to commit a crime to be arrested either, the police just have to have sufficient cause to believe you've committed a crime and then it's up to the courts. But he was't arrested and he wasn't charged. He was simply detained and that has been done since time immemorial for a variety of reasons. If his civil rights were trampled on he can file suit. Bet he doesn't.

Oops, you ignored the "acting suspicious" part...
