"Suspicion" in itself is not a crime, but suspicious behavior does provide probable cause for a police officer to investigate. It's also known as Proactive Policing and is far more constructive than having officers sitting around in their vehicles, not paying attention to what's going around them, "eating donuts", as the old cliché goes, waiting to be assigned to a call by Dispatch. Many good arrests, like the one described, result from making contact with suspicious individuals and behavior while actively patrolling their assigned beat, being involved with what's going on around them.

You can't have it both ways- do you have a problem with officers "sitting around", or actively doing their jobs? Seems foolish to complain about both.

What part of my explanation below do you not understand?

It's a shame that I had to explain that to you.

"People, places, the things they do and the time they do them"- most important knowledge to an officer on the beat...everything out of the ordinary is "suspicious", like these two clowns.

You aren't one of those comical "sovereign citizens, are you? LOL!

And yes, you do have to show ID if you're a passenger in a vehicle.
