Oh come on.

A stranger is walking around a neighbourhood and one of the residents becomes suspicious for WHATEVER reason and calls the police. The police arrive and ask the guy for some ID. No ID.

Now, I am very much against any "police state", but walking around ANYWHERE without ANY ID is just stunned. I think the caller and the police are to be commended. I think Bob should carry his ID at all times, as do most peeps.

As far as racist innuendos or Yankee bashing or anything else other than the simple fact that Bob happened to forget to carry ID, well, I needn't comment further. That would just be more ammo.
