Sigh. You just don't get it, do you? 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?
"Well, there you go again. You you are really sounding more and more like a democrat.

Wow. And on a Tuesday night...
Look, I'm just a little frustrated here that no one seems to have an appreciation for their rights as citizens, nor are they willing to support other citizens who assert their rights. And your having flunked civics was the only reason I could possibly imagine why you would be unaware of what your rights are. Maybe you just forgot. I really wasn't trying to be nasty, and I'm sorry if I offended you.
Now, you said: "Well Miss, then he should not complain when his refusal to do so causes a delay in his daily routine, should he?"
Yes, he should absolutely complain. The cops had no right to interrupt his daily routine and demand his I.D.
You asked: "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?"
It was somewhat after point b. They overstepped the bounds of the law (and thus became criminals) when they detained him for refusing to produce I.D.
