I was doing a bit of shopping at Safeway today (I go there almost daily -- it's right across the street) and as I am at the self check-out, I hear a voice say "You're scaring everyone!" in a joking tone. I turn around, and there were two Kent police officers. They approached me, and said there was a call from someone who saw me walking across the street with a gun, and had seen me enter Safeway. The officers were both being very respectful and polite. He told me he didn't care that I was OCing, and he supported my rights to, but then he said "But can I take a peak at your ID? Just to be sure you're not a felon or anything." Giving that I was on a tight time schedule, I didn't want to argue with him, so I politely said "Sure!" and handed him my ID. He ran it, as I continued checking out, and then gave it back, and thanked me.. wishing me a good evening.
First time I've ever really been stopped by the police, asking for ID. I'm not really sure what to do from here, because the officer was very respectful and polite, but it seemed like a case of him not knowing the proper steps. What would you do if you were me?
