But i wonder if OP knows that she have every right to refuse to answer his questions, as officer don't have any proof. But some dumb-ass officers take advantage of people's fear. For their fun....

If you refuse to answer a police officers question it can be grounds for further investigation based off reasonable suspicion, which the courts would probably honor.

The police are there to enforce the law, not to accuse anything that moves of committing a crime...

Yeah.. But Op said she was in bad part of town. And when the police work in that environment, they gonna be obsessed by criminal anytime..:)

No, it is not the job description of a police officer to think everyone is a criminal always. That's not how it works dear.

Did OP fill in a country? If so, it partly depends on if their police works with quotas.

@19, it is more than you think. They have to be suspicious of everyone and everything so they can do their job. if they went around giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, too many criminals would still be on the streets.

Damn, where are the grammar nazis when you need them...?

#2 stated that it is a police officer's job to ALWAYS suspect EVERYBODY of a crime. That's false. I'm not saying the police are going around hesitating to get involved in any potential criminal activity unless they're really REALLY sure the person did it, nobody said that.

You don't say.....

That's what he did say.

Yea the other day I told a DEA agent his jacket looked "pretty dope". Needless to say he didn't take it as a compliment.

Oh really, Ke$ha?
