And speaking of the concert tour Bob and Willie and John are on...I was at the Lubbock showing.
Mellencamp was the best of the three. ____________________ Bernie... If you would like to view my want/have lists,then go to my trading site at the following. SpiderGoblins Trading Site "nuff said" "it traps,it kills,it eats....that's what a good spider does" Alice Cooper |

Yeah, that sounds about right. Willie is way past his prime and Dylan was always hit or miss, even in his younger days. He could put on a terrific show on one tour and the next one would be like he was making the words up on stage and never played with the band before. You never knew which Dylan you were going to get.  But it was always worth going, if only to say you saw him live.  |

I don't understand. What had he done wrong in order to be plucked off the streets, thrown in a police car and dragged off to the nearest station.?

That's a bit unfair, even paranoid people have enemies. Besides, if you were ever in New Jersey you wouldn't wonder why people are edgy.  |

Well it seems he was suspiciously roaming the neighborhood peering into windows of vacant houses during a rainstorm. One can assume the person who called the police thought he was a vagrant looking for an empty house to squat in or worse. He also had no id on him - which when confronted by the police, is a bad thing. They kinda like proof about who you say you are. |

Is this a big thing in America, carrying ID?
I know if i was stopped anywhere i would have nothing on me to prove who i was. ____________________ Come, it is time for you to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man. |

Wolfie - not to beat a dead horse - and anyone else in the Uk can respond to this as well - what happens when you're approached by a member of law enforcement? Do you just tell them your name? Hi - I'm Angelina Jolie - and they believe you, or do they ask for id? And if you cannot produce id - sorry love, left my passport with my agent - he's staying at the Ritz - do they just let you go? Cause I'm very confused. You seem perturbed that they questioned his identity and then question the need to produce proof of id when questioned about it.

The thing that bothers me is that here is a man just out walking around doing nothing to nobody and from that point ends up in police custody and when they find out who he really is they say oh right you can go then and send him on his way.
The other point i was making is that if i was approached by the police whilst out walking and asked to prove who i was i would also have no way of doing so and would presumably be dragged off in the same manner even though i also had done nothing wrong. Anyone worried yet? This message has been edited. Last edited by: wolfie, ____________________ Come, it is time for you to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man. |

Bob Dylan was questioned because a homeowner called the police to report an “eccentric-looking old man” who wandered into their back yard. The police did not take him to a police cell but rather back his hotel where concert workers vouched for him. Because his actions were viewed as suspicious and he had no identification, there was concern that Dylan might have come from an area hospital or something.
It's not a law that an American citizen carries identification at all times. It's just a good idea to have some sort of identification on you in case something might happen, such as you have an accident or are otherwise unable to identify yourself. If a police officer stops you and asks you for identification, there's usually a good reason. They might be looking for someone whose description you just happen to fit. They might see you in a potentially dangerous situation and stop you. If a police officer has cause to ask you for identification, chances are they'll use the opportuntity to see if there are any outstanding warrants or complaints. By and large, police officers are good people simply doing their best to protect us while looking out for our well being. |

The matter at hand is that a concerned citizen saw a man looking at houses, he may well have been looking to rob these houses the concerned citizen was doing a public service

Really, nothing? A driver's license, credit card, supermarket shopping card? What if you hit your head, lost your memory and no one knew who you were? Sounds like a soap opera in the making. Seriously, if a stranger is wandering around a neighborhood acting somewhat suspicious I see nothing wrong with the police asking for ID. They usually don't turn out to be rock stars, but they might be burglars casing homes to rob. |

As someone who lives at the Jersey Shore and knows the area, Long Branch is an area that I would not go walking around at night, and would be careful in the daytime. It's a high crime area for our neck of the woods, so I can see where people would have been concerned. Heck, the Headless Horseman worked there for a number of years, that's scary enough!

Another slow day for the most worthless rag in America to try to be a newspaper and report something.

Correct. It's important to remember the old maxim: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they AREN'T out to get you |

It all depends on the circumstances. Ordinary members of the public don't often get approached by Police Officers, period. The most common time when they are is when a traffic cop has pulled them over (there are far too many reasons why they can do this to list them here). The first question then is not 'Who are you ?' but more likely to be 'Are you the owner of this vehicle'. They do tend to ask you to produce all of the documents for the vehicle along with your Driving License, and it is technically an offence to be driving when you do not have your license with you, but they normally hand you a ticket requiring you to present all the missing documents at your nearest Police Station within 7 days. Failure to do so always results in some kind of penalty. |
