Muskateer,I have no problem asking a kid hanging out for no apparent reason what he is doing there. He is free to stand there and I am free to ask him a question. His reaction should say much, even if he doesn't. Perhaps his car is broken down and I can offer to let use the phone. Perhaps he is casing the area and knowing that someone is watching him will make him reconsider the location he is casing.
I believe that is what he should have done in the first place. I do not get cops involved for things like this. The way I figure it, the less authority I give them and the less "I need your help" calls, the better.
