SNIP "I didn't notice a time duration on the length of the "detainment".
There's a big difference between 10 minutes to verify some
information vs. several hours." SNIP
OMG again. No there's not a time difference. There's a difference
between being detained and being left alone. The next time you're being
held by 2 officers with Glocks and Tazers at their side, you just go
ahead and decide if you want to leave when you're ready or when they're
ready. Rots o' ruck if you decide to leave early.

To avoid the list police, I was going to let this rest, but Vince
replied to my post.
I've *been asked* for my ID when I was somewhere that made someone
else nervous. I had cops ask me who I was and why I was where I
was. They listened to what I had to say and left. They had guns.
They had handcuffs. It was a few years ago, so probably no tasers,
but who cares?
It's no big deal. Are you that frightened of our police officers
that being asked for your ID has you trembling in your boots?
They asked him for ID and checked back with the folks who were
concerned to make sure there wasn't an issue. We don't know how long
the entire process lasted, but if it was 5 minutes, it's no big deal.
They didn't rough him up or throw him in some deep, dark cell. They
didn't threaten him or pull out his fingernails or cart him away in
the middle of the night.
If you want to get all worked up, get worked up over abuses of power
-- like the incidents in New York that were already mentioned. Or
the guy who had his plane confiscated for landing on the wrong lake.
Or any of a large number of other examples of abuse of authority.
There was no abuse.
At no point did the original poster even suggest the cops were
anything other than completely polite and non-threatening, so we
shouldn't assume anything else.
The cops DID THEIR JOBS.
Sheesh.
