Yeah I mean I don't disagree with anything there. It's just that I can understand why the cop became suspicious. I did, I figured this guy was trying to hide something. If I were a cop, I'd want to keep questioning him. Whether I should have approached him in the first place, that's a different matter.

Again, without wanting to condone the kid's behaviour:

The cop doesn't get to decide what the kid's rights are. The kid did not have to answer any questions, full stop. The cop had no reason to think the kid was committing a crime or about to commit a crime. So, the law is that the kid doesn't have to answer if he doesn't want to. Moreoever, his refusal to answer doesn't change that law. The cop can't decide that if someone is refusing to volunteer information he's not required by law to give, the law has suddenly changed so that he is required to give information.

Sure, the cop might feel more suspicious about the kid if he seems uncooperative, but that doesn't change what the law says the kid's rights are. In this situation, the kid is perfectly within his rights to tell the cop to fuck off.
