"Answer: because he refused to identify himself or to answer simple and reasonable questions. By his lack of cooperation, he was wasting the time of eight cops (or was it ten?). "

Sigh. You just don't get it, do you? He doesn't have to produce I.D. just because the cops ask for it. Refusal to produce I.D. or cooperate with a search is not probable cause for arrest.

Well, there you go again. You you are really sounding more and more like a democrat. In that you stoop to insult (no, I did not flunk civics), you refuse to listen to reasonable opinions, which are contrary to your own, you think you are smarter then everyone else, and you have no logic to your arguments.

Try reading more slowly this time:

"He doesn't have to produce I.D. just because the cops ask for it."

Well Miss, then he should not complain when his refusal to do so causes a delay in his daily routine, should he?

"Refusal to produce I.D. or cooperate with a search is not probable cause for arrest."

What if this guy had been your average everyday terrorist instead of a Liberal Nutcase Opinion Columnist for a third rate newspaper, and the cops walked away after he refused to show his ID? He then waits an hour or so and blows up the Lincoln Memorial, killing 187 people including 47 students from Miss Marples third grade class.

Now, are you going to say that the cops did their job?

sighhhhhhh You just don't get it do you?

Answer one question: At what point do you feel the cops were out of line in this story?

was it:
a) When they responded to the cal regarding a suspicious man?
b) was it when they asked for his ID?
c) was it when they waited for confirmation of who he said he was?
