Does the "tazee" come off as an a-hole to anyone else? When in college, we were required to have ID to show in the library after a certain hour. The campus police would come through and ask for your ID. If you didn't have it, you had to leave. I just don't understand the attitude of "Yes, this is the rule. I am supposed to have an ID to stay in the library. I don't have an ID however. Furthermore, I will not leave." Now you are making the campus police take it to the next level. What are they supposed to do? You are not allowed there without ID. So the rule is, you gots to go. So either you go on your own, or you get the boot. How hard is that to parse? Instead we get a lot of over the top yelling and screaming about abuse. This does a diservice to people who are actual victims of police abuse.
