He was on crutches so I got the car and waited for him up front. A cop knocked on my window and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was waiting for my friend. She asked me to move my vehicle. I told her I didn't see any "No Parking" signs. She stared at me, so I stared back. She went back to her car and sat there, probably running my plates, then came back to my car and asked me for my ID. I told her I'm not required under law to show my ID if I'm not doing anything illegal/being detained. My friend finally hobbles out of the store, gets in the car, and I drive off, leaving the cop who was parked behind me.

Know your rights.
