[quote=CLAUDIUS,244044]In Singapore, we do need to produce our ID even when we check into a motel or use a hotel room during the day. But then, Singapore do take 'freedom' seriously and sensitively, so its seems natural to me that such rules exist in all parts of China.

One of my most memorable lesson during my law class was on the topic of freedom versus laws on restricting freedom. Apparently like you mentioned, if a police officer comes up to you asking for your business on a street, you can't really answer with 'I am doing nothing'. Loitering with intent seems to be an oxymoron as loitering IS without intent. I can understand what you meant about tents, the point being having a private space yet subjected to public security rules.

Its probably an intented 'grey area' within the laws that allows an officer to hurl anyone up for questioning if there is any hint of suspicion. And such grey areas are abundant in China in many other contexts, which leave a lot of room for the 'freedom' to exercise law, by the government.[/quote]
