No it was nothing like that. It was basically their fault and they just verified my identity. It's literally just such an inexplicable activity that they have to investigate, and there's this weird pedestrian bias too IMO. (they thought I was a random weirdo in the building or stealing stuff)
It's honestly not something that's the most meaningful, but among other things it's made me distinctly aware how weird the culture is if you want to make driving not necessary to be a first class citizen. So while it doesn't prove my point, even prior I felt like "people are just gonna start calling the cops on me for not driving", and it basically was like that.
See how I'm now still kinda having to explain myself? I can't help but think this is a little proving my point. Now the notion of not-driving is such an inexplicable concept that it must be explained?
That's a hell of an assumption from my car wouldn't start. Or my wife's car wouldn't start so I let her take mine. Or any number of reasons before jumping to that conclusion. Why even jump to a conclusion, and just let the person tell them why, to even WTF does it matter?
That's not to mention the reasons that could relate to not wanting to tell you. For instance, they could be complying with those great license bans everyone things are so swell. Or they could suffer from medical problems that would also make them responsible if they hurt someone.
Do you want to make everyone that has a severely limiting disability have to constantly explain themselves? Or maybe their fucking car is in the shop.
