Say an armed robber broke into your house and you called the police....TOO BAD! the last unit was dispatched to a 7-11 to stop an idiot in a ski mask...guess your going to have to wait a while longer, hope he doesn't bumb into you and shoot you.
Uh..yes, I'd probably call the police, but if he was not going to do anything bad, then he should just be released. Is it against the law to enter a shop with a ski mask? Did he do anything bad, asides from a slight annoyance and being an idiot? No. He entered there, the owner got scared, called the cops, the cops arrested him, it was all a misunderstanding...the end. Or is there a law against misunderstanding? If I give children I don't know a bag of sweets just because I feel like it, do I get arrested for doing something that may look like it has bad intentions behing it? (You know, give them candy for further kidnapping or sexual abuse or something). Same here, only entering a shop with that mask is worse than giving children candy, but nothing to deserve more than a few glares and a "if we get you again being an idiot you'll be fined". Not prision, for God's sake.
