Now, as for my response being 'hostile and sarcastic'? Now THAT one I don't understand.

If exerting my civil and constitutional rights, to you, is hostile and sarcastic....well, that's another thing altogether.




Again, I was being rude to the officer in question by letting him know that I am aware of my rights and exercising them?

We must be talking about a different country then.

One of those protections includes me eating lunch for days on end, while wearing my kilt, in front of a library.
Which by the way is NOT a government building.

Moderators please, as things do tend to happen, this is taking an unintended turn, so please keep an eye on this thread. I'm not requesting it to be closed...but a nudge here and there would keep it in track.

Hector, again I am truly not trying to antagonize you or anyone else.

Let's take the police aspect out of it.
If an average citizen walked up to you and said, "I work in the library, and I noticed you watching the building for the last few days and I just was curious who you were and what was going on."
Would your response still be "it's hard not to look at a building when it's right in front of me," then refuse to answer any further questions?
It may not be intended as rude, but would you really interpret it as a friendly or polite response?

All I'm trying to do is show how the officer's thought process might have gone, and why he reacted the way he did.

Again, I'm not trying to upset or accuse anyone of anything, but at the same time, I'd hate to see this turn into some sort of "Those lousy cops!" rant without reason.
