> When a cop pulls you over because there was a kidnapping a year ago, you do not end up in jail for making the claim "Don't worry, I'm not a kidnapper"
No, but you'll get a more thorough check of your car (trunk and backseat), plus a more in-depth check of your car's plates and your ID - because you just made a seemingly unrelated statement about a horrible thing (kidnapping) when the cop pulled you over for something trivial (not obeying speed rules).

not sure if i made my original point correctly. putting away the camera is entirely related to terrorism, which is why its perfectly reasonable to respond with "I am not a terrorist" (taking pictures of the plane for future blowing-up operations)
Next time a cop pulls me over I'll tell him: "I'm not a turtle". Or "I'm not lightbulb". Or this: "I'm not a tea leaf". And hope they are not looking for an escaped turtle, a lost lightbulb or a tea leaf that jumped out of a tea cup.
