Understand something. It doesn't make one squirt of piss difference whether police can articulate why someone is suspicious. Failure to comply with a lawful order IMMEDIATELY results in suspicion AND is a criminal act in and of itself.
Here are two scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Police: (looking for a suspect) FREEZE
Person Simply Walking: Dindu Nuffin (keeps walking like an idiot)
Police: Take him down
(gets booked and spends a night in jail)
Scenario 1A:
Police: Take him down
(fight breaks out)(person simply walking dies in a shootout)
(stupid family members cry on TV about dindu nuffin and justice)
Scenario 2:
Police: (looking for a suspect) FREEZE
Person Simply Walking: (freezes)
Police: Get on the ground
Person Simply Walking: (gets on the ground)
Police: (cuffs person simply walking) (ask) What are you doing here?
Person Simply Walking: Walking home
Police: Where are you coming from?
Person Simply Walking: The store 2 streets over
Police: When did you leave
Person Simply Walking: About 10 minutes ago
Police: Did you see this guy (shows photo)
Person Simply Walking: Yeah, he ran that way.
(3 minutes later)
Police: We caught the fleeing suspect. Thank you for cooperating. You are free to go. Have a nice evening.
Reminds me a of an incident when I was approached by a cop for not doing anything.
I was sitting in my car, waiting, on a bridge. Cop pulls up in his car and asked me what I was doing. I told him. He explained that a lot of people got into trouble on that bridge.
I didn't know what he was talking about, and told him I would happily move to another place to wait.
End of story.
I guess I could have tried telling him to mind his own business, that I Dindu Nuffin and he should fuck off. Maybe that would have worked out better.
Or worse.
