No, the cop was right and he was wrong. If we put ourselves in questionable places and questionable hours, we should support the efforts of any cop that gets out of the doughnut shop long enough to ask why. I work very late at my business, and have been shaked down many times in my own parking lot. What the hell, it's my property and my neighborhood they are trying to protect. Sorry, but no. I have the right to go about my business without being "shaken down" by anyone. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling four feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |

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. |

No, actually Maxwell is the type that would gladly shoot the rapist if he can reach his concealed weapon fast enough. |

Be cordial of coarse and keep your hands in sight, but be careful of hand shakes, especially on initial contact. Cops are taught that there is at least one gun at EVERY scene, their OWN. Never do anything to approach their firearm side, it's the first thing an unarmed bad guy is going to consider, and an attempted hand shake is a know set-up. If you notice, a good cop will always stand at and angle to you, never facing you directly. They are taught from birth to keep their gun on the far side of you. This makes hand shaking a good bit of a red flag. |

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