Please respond to this question.

What I think an office should be allowed to ask someone who is walking down the straight would be for guidance on finding somebody they are looking for. I don't think it's wrong to ask people on the street if they have seen the suspicious person the police are describing because it can help to prevent others from getting hurt with the help of the community. If police approach people without seeming aggressive or demanding information, I think most people would be ok to talk to the police and help them out.

The point in which I think an encounter with the police is too intrusive would be when they start searching you without you actually being a suspicious individual. If the police harm you in any way and you are left hurt it should be challenged and reviewed by the court because if you were in no way guilty and weren't found guilty none of the things done to you should not have happened. I also don't see a reason as to why you should identify yourself if you are not causing anyone harm as you are walking down the straight. Now, if the police are just calmly approaching you and would like to know your name, I think that should be fine. However, they should not require you to pull your ID out for them to see. Also, you should be allowed to leave if the officer can't yet confirm his suspicions if the person who he is interrogating doesn't draw any conclusions towards his reason for stopping them.

Even though the officers may have experience, I don't think that we should completely spare them. The reason why I think this is because the police office could racially profile you even if they say they did not. I would say that it is more likely for hispanics or the black community to be searched compared to whites. In such cases, I do think that police should be sued when they go too far. The point in which I think police would go too far is when they harm an individual or completely beat them when they are in no way a suspicious individual. The part that stood out to me from the encounter was when they grabbed the man and right away started searching him without his consent.
