In the US, you cannot be compelled to show ID unless there is reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime. "Being nice" to cops and allowing them to overstep their authority only emboldens those who can't seem to reign themselves in and just do their job.

Every time we acquiesce to unreasonable and unlawful demands we just allow the transition from community policing to gestapo/secret police. Know your rights, exercise them. Don't do that and you WILL lose them, as we see happening in the drone community as we speak.

My neighbor's 5 year old kid screams incessantly in the back yard. It's conduct that is repeated, alarming, seriously annoying, and I don't think it serves a legitimate purpose. It's a good thing I don't live in NY state - else I'd press charges.

Leave it to say that it won't be long when things like this will be settled in the courts. Now back to the wonderful Mavic....

5 yr. old, no criminal culpability, 15 yr. old may be arrested, depending on the facts.

To your point, the FAA is now considering banning cell phone use on commercial flights - not because it's unsafe (that's clearly been debunked) - but because it would be irritating to customers who wouldn't appreciate having to listen to someone gabbing on the phone during the flight.

Imagine that - making things illegal because they irritate others. Instead of letting the airlines decide whether to appeal to a "must talk on phone while flying" audience (or possibly segregating seats based on those who (don't) want that ability), we have a nanny state that decides for us all.

Criminalizing something that is simply annoying would have 100% of the population locked up in no time. America - land of the free, home of the brave.

All my people are cops. I'm the ex-bad guy. We have an un-spoken rule at family functions, "Don't talk that cop b/s with me and how dangerous the streets are if you're not going to talk about the bad cops on the force and how dangerous they are." My opinion is, there is a huge over reach by law enforcement because a lot of cops are simply afraid and if that's the case they should be in another profession or work the desk or in the courts or write parking tickets (if that's an option in their city).

OK Guys lets stop with the insults and political statements in this now !!
