Police officer allowed to take your ID?

Ya know what? I'm starting to think you folks are right. I'm tired, cranky, and a little pissed that the cops were called. But I'm overreacting. I needed an anandtech check.

Police officer allowed to take your ID?

I totally understand that they're doing their job. I just have a huge problem with the argument "if you have nothing to hide, you should completely cooperate with the police." There are many, MANY problems with this argument (some of which I outlined on my original post). Are there no civil...

Police officer allowed to take your ID?

Actually I don't completely disagree with the call that the neighbor made. We were a *little* suspicious. But after seeing that I live in the building, I hardly see why I'm supposed to submit to a database search.

Police officer allowed to take your ID?

So what defines suspicious? If you're wearing a turban? If you speak Arabic? etc. etc. etc. And isn't any marginal 'suspicion' dispelled once you show the officer your ID showing that you live in the building?

Police officer allowed to take your ID?

It was my GF's car -- who does not live in the building. Her license plate is registered to a different address. So the officer needed to see (key word: see) my ID to see that I lived there.

Police officer allowed to take your ID?

So here's a strange situation: My GF and I were parked outside my apartment building for about 15-20 minutes talking (yes, just talking), and a police officer was called since someone felt that we were 'suspicious' to be parked with our engine and lights occasionally running (because it's a...
