I used to take lots of walks at night before I had a full time job and children. I live in Austria and it seems bizarre to me that police officers would check you out just for walking around at night. I never had such an experience whether I was living in Vienna or my small hometown.
What I did see was black men having to show their ID at subway stations, which to me was a very unsettling thing, because it was pretty obvious that they were looking for drug dealers and focusing on a specific race.
I was held up in Croatia and had to show my ID twice. But I was with a group of people in a party area, so that kind of made sense.
Is taking walks maybe an uncommon thing in the USA?
