I think the fact that the pedestrian overpass has a 360° cage fence says more than anything else.

Actually, people tossing over large rocks at windshields has been a problem in some areas. It's not just for stopping jumpers.

A friend of mine told me that he saw about half a dozen of these chain-link-red-cup graffiti statements on the way up to Ogden from Salt Lake. They all said, "You lie!"

Wasn't Red Cups a movie about female Soviet soldiers parachuting into Colorado using giant brassieres?

Yes, it starred Patrick Swayze, Wong Foo, Powers Boothe and John Leguizamo

It may be an off-the-shelf design. There's one of those over the freeway near me, yet a few hundred yards away is an ordinary overpass with sidewalks protected by nothing more than a waist-high guardrail.

Exactly how does that strike back?
So; he does the "light" vandalism, alerts authorities*, and returns to the scene of the crime.
Why do people have to do this stuff and waste the time of the cops that could be doing more useful work?
And; what of the cups and ball of tape? Just more oil derived plastics to end up in a landfill?
*Obviously giving some indication of location if the locals were able to cite jurisdiction. I'm sure the local (being part of the world order) was in contact with his state counterpart to say "hey; I think I got one for ya".

In San Francisco I've been hearing "police state" (from the link) since the sixties and I'm still waiting to be able to walk from one end of 3rd street to the other by myself and unarmed without the threat of being killed and eaten by the locals.

In all fairness, BD, it doesn't mean killed and devoured...
In one month in my neighborhood, I was stopped while walking FOUR times (once while I was walking my dog for crying out loud) by sheriff deputies checking me out.
Running my license and asking me questions.
None of these four times were during the night or odd hours. I was not dressed in suspicious clothing, (Once in regular casuals and another, I was in khaki pants and a button up shirt!).
The forth time, I finally got fed up and told the deputy to sit tight as I called the local police complaining of harassment.
In the end, words were exchanged between the sheriffs office and the local PD. The officer in question agreed with me that four times was a bit much, even, after he calmed down from my initial reaction and, with the merry old excuse of "Just doing my job" drove off rather quickly.
In San Francisco, it's a common occurrence as well, especially in Daly City.
It's not about feeling eaten- it's about feeling harassed unnecessarily.

In fairness, having bat wings and wearing a sword that must weigh 500 pounds is the kind of thing that attracts attention.

So what happens if you are not carrying identification?
(I had a relative visiting from Europe express complete amazement that I would go for a walk without carrying any ID.)

They take you to jail.
Thus: I always carry ID. Even when out for running.

I lost my wallet back in August, maybe June. Had my SSI card in it AND my shellback card in it as well.
I'm upset about the loss of the shellback card.
Order of Kilopi
You tell the cop to go stick himself somewhere uncomfortable. Which is what you should do if the cop asks for your ID in the first place.

Tried that.
Didn't work.

Ooh, dangerous. I know a lady who was being cited for letting her dog run loose. (Well, it was a pit bull, so she deserved the citation.) While she was being cited, she kept in contact with someone with her cell phone. At one point, the officer told her to hang up the phone. She said, "Excuse you?"
"Hang up the phone!" She apparently thought this was not a lawful order and didn't immediately hang up, so the officer wrestled her hard to the ground and cuffed her.Force is not reasonable when a suspect is non-violent, not fleeing, not resisting, and otherwise poses no threat. Furthermore, force is not permitted at all when there is no need to use force.
Apparently, not all officers follow this fairly simple rule.
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
Order of Kilopi
I think you misunderstand. I was looking forward to the police state so I would be able to do that.
Also:
One wing? In the middle of his back between his shoulder blades?
So it's not so much a wing as a birth defect? Scoliosis grande?
Order of Kilopi
I'm late to the party, but the rule is (at least, was when I was in school) you have to identify yourself; give a valid name and SSN or other way for the officer to verify who you are. You do not have to provide a physical ID.
Now, the easiest way to identify yourself? Hand them your physical ID. :-P You can try giving a false name, if you really want to be charged with that crime. There's really no reason to not tell them who you are, unless you are dodging warrants or something.
If you don't like cops and just want to give them a hard go of it, more power to you. Just don't cry when they don't treat you nicely in return. Being purposely antagonistic, then complaining that police are mean, is just juvenile.
Order of Kilopi
I agree that reaction by the cop was too drastic, but at that point the situation had been established between the cop and the lady.
In Nev's case, I don't see an indication of an established sitation. Did the cop say why they were checking?
Without a reason, I would say that even once could be considered harassement.
Otherwise, I'm not sure that frequency would be an issue with cause, unless it was the same cause and same cop each time.
