Imagine you are an independent insurance adjuster out in a neighborhood doing your job. You are legally parked on the side of the road looking up your next address to go to. Then up come the LAW! The officer approaches you and starts asking what you are doing. You tell him that you are working. He is not satisfied with your answer and says that you are suspicious. You ask him “is suspicious a felony or a misdemeanor”?
Now you have bruised his ego, and we know when a cops ego get hurt the first remedy they want is YOUR I.D.! They want that I.D. like a toddler wants that pacifier! You tell him that unless you are suspected of committing a crime, you don’t have to show him any I.D.
Well, he just can’t respect your rights and tell you goodbye. Nope, he goes and calls his supervisor and tells him what is going on. He tells the boss that he wants that I.D. His boss actually tells him that he cannot force the man to turn over his I.D. The officer is so determined to get this man’s I.D. that he tell his boss that he could just wait till the man drives off, then follow him, and wait until he see’s him do something that will allow him to pull him over.
Does this sound like the officer is looking out for this man’s freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? No, but hell no!
