Re: confronting police

if you aren't doing anything, they have no right to stop you. Doesn't mean they won't.

And, if you then GIVE them a reason to arrest you, they certainly will.

We don't yet live in a Gestapo state, but that doesn't mean they won't try it. Have a local lawyer on your cell phone and call him for backup.
