You are only partly correct. It's not some arbitrary definition of suspicion where they don't like the way that someone looks or what he's doing. They have to have reasonable suspicion that a crime either occurred or is about to occur. If they felt that the situation met those criteria all that is required of Nilet is that he identify himself. Technically he is not even required to show ID, but I wouldn't recommend that approach. They are only allowed to frisk him for weapons (hard objects on his person). They obviously went well beyond that. |
