You could be walking down the street, uniformed police officers can point a gun at you, they can take you down, they can handcuff you, they can take you in their patrol car, they can take you to the police station and interrogate you. This is called an arrest. Why? They have suspicion you may have just committed a crime nearby--even though you know you have not committed a crime and just walking down the street playing pocket pool. This procedure does happen everyday and is worse than what happened at Mt. Rainier. Is this acceptable? It is acceptable in our society becuase we let it happen and the procedure is upheld in court.
