Stop acting like this is a travesty, the cab driver obviously is an idiot and doesnt recognize a song vs real comments lol, but the issue remains that law enforcement is given leads by the public all the time and harmlessly questioning someone(although maybe inconvienent) is NOT against the law.

If you aint got nothing to hide its not big deal. The cabbie was wrong, but imagine if had actually tipped the cops off to someone who really was dangerous, the lives possibly saved is worth a few inconvienences.

I suspect the people who bitch about being questioned by the police must have a lot to hide ehh?

Right so now who pays for his missed flight seeing as he was innocent? I suspect I would comply with anyone that wanted to question me but you better beleive I would comment on it afterwards if I was stopped for something as stupid as this. Who was it that said the people shouldn't be afraid of their gov't but their gov't should be afraid of their people.

It sounds more like reds under the bed to me than anything of real concern. I mean hell...the Clash have 'worse' songs. If he was singing 'London's Burning' then *maybe* it might raise an eyebrow if I didn't know the song.

Something tells me that Stummer would have loved this story.
