At the moment I started walking down the street normally, I wasn't doing anything to provoke contact, I should be good.... Per what the guy in the video was saying, that is how it would work right?
cop: "I'm going to have to detain you sir for suspicion of a robbery that someone called in." < I don't know what they would actyally say lol
robber: "Was I doing anything illegal right now to give you a reason to contact/detain me?"
cop: "Well no, not technically right now, we just got a call about a robbery done with a gun, and then we got a call about you walking in the area."
robber: "So are you detaining me? Did I do something illegal? You said it yourself I haven't done anything illegal......" < starts spouting off all the crap the guy on the video did...
I would think there is a point where the cops are able to see if you are a BG or not. I might not have used the best situation above, but I hope people get the point of what I'm saying. We even have people on the board here that call in others for doing something "suspicious" and start a new thread about it. We have neighborhood watch's for "suspicious" people, yet when the tables get turned every once in a while we get all upset? The confrontation should last maybe two minutes at most if you work with them. This is why I want to know what they are trained/told to do in a situation like this. If a cop just stops you because you have a gun, that's BS, I know that and I think most others do, but if someone calls you in and says you are acting suspicious and have a gun, what are the cops supposed to do?
