In a TikTok video by @faffytragos a man was talking about the different experiences these had with police in the USA versus South Africa. He said that his American wife was explaining to the South African police that he was getting his ID in his book, and he was puzzled by it. She explained she was used to telling police everything because in America you can know to me anymore without telling the police exactly what you're doing.
