Added (2). Cop started to touch his baton on pants. Was afraid to not give him my id or say am i free to go
Yes, you can be stopped if he's a police officer.
1. You do not have to show physical ID, but you do have to identify yourself.
2. Ask if you are under arrest. If they say no, ask if you are free to go; then do it.
3. #2 only applies if you are white. Otherwise it could be lethal.
Read the Wikipedia article on "reasonable suspicion":
He can stop and talk to you… But in order for him to detain you, or say you can't leave, he needs to have probable cause u committed a crime. This could be anything from seeing you do something illegal or you fitting the description of someone they are looking for.
If you haven't committed any crime you don't have to show your ID and you don't have to talk to him. All you do is politely ask if you are being detained. If the cop says no then you can walk away, if he says yes then ask him why.
Know your rights, cops can stop and talk to anyone, it's up to you if you want to stick around and talk to them, as long as you haven't broken a law.
- SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AT MY SCHOOL BUS STOP? Everyday I've noticed a man in a black vehicle drivin past my bus stop. I thought it was normal at first, just a man going to work. Today he parked near the bus (I was watching close enough to clearly see) and he took out his green iPhone and was TAKING PHOTOS of the middle schoolers getting on the bus. I'm nervous to go there now.

- If you take the SIM card out of an iphone can the police/ family still track you? So I watched this movie called SALT it's not that old but it's a good movie. In one part she takes the SIM card out of the phone so no one can track it. But is that also true with iPhones? Like of you take the SIM card out can the police still track your phone. Because I was think yes because it has your number. But is that true? It's not traceable if you take the SIM card out. But if not is there a way and how?
