• A young man who works nights and jogs when he gets home is stopped by police officers on patrol. Lights flashing and spotlights shining, the officers get out and confront him, demanding to know his name, to see his identification, and to know if he had any weapons. When he stated that he did not have his ID with him, and that since he did nothing wrong he did not have to give his name, he was quickly arrested.
