"The idea that going for a walk in itself constitutes suspicious behaviour is also strange to us. However I can see how in context it might appear so."

Please do not get the image in your mind that we are all walking around with ID at the ready to produce upon request. I'm 52 years old, and the only time I've been asked for ID by a cop was when I speeding on a local street. For the most part, we all live in peace and issues like these become fodder for knee jerk reactions from people looking to pick a fight. Their issues are probably of greater import than this non-story.

It is sad to see that our community here on Mudcat is so dysfunctional.
