Sorry, but no.

I have the right to go about my business without being "shaken down" by
anyone.


Sure, and as soon as you identify yourself and your authority to be
there,
you have no problem. But if you were able to tie the hands of law
enforcement, anyone could be there, for any reason.

I don't need authority to be there, and as far as identifying myself
goes, that means giving my name and address -- verbally.


In the US, cheerfully giving your name, addres and birthday is seldom all
that's required.
