Please post of you have been harrased by police

Most "Stop and Identify" Laws in the U.S. only give police the power to require you to provide identification, only if they have a reasonable suspicion that you have committed a crime.

If I were stopped by police I would just politely ask "Have I done anything wrong?". If they then tell you that you were stopped for "...possible violation of law xyz..." then I would not refuse to provide identification. That alone could get you arrested. Once you have provided identification and they continue to question you I would just say "...am I under arrest?..." If they say no, then respond "Well have a good day." Certainly do not consent to them coming inside your apartment/hotel/etc. for possible search and further questioning.

Last summer I was driving and had to go under the Metropolitan elevated highway near St. Denis because traffic was re routed. A black cop comes over while I was at a red light and asked me why my flashers were not on to turn left. I tell him because there is only one direction for me to go as the road in front of me was blocked and I could not go straight ahead. The jerk starts to lecture me and continues for several minutes. A woman cop even came along to back him up but after a minutes she went away because she could see that he was being an asshole. I just let him talk until he talked himself out. after about 5 minutes he felt stupid and said OK, you could go. Some of these guys will look for an excuse to feel big.

More importantly, since the old law was unconstitutional and since all sex workers are supposed to be victims, their criminal records should be erased.
