Police officers are specially trained to read body language. If they think someone is acting strangely around their presence, for example avoiding eye contact or walking quickly, then officers have the power to stop and search that person on suspicion on criminal activity. They will ask that person for their details and to identify themselves too, in case there is an outstanding warrant on them.
They do it to protect you, the member of public, from harm.

∙ 14y agoIn order to conduct a lawful search the officers must first file a written AFFIDAVIT setting forth their probable cause for requesting the warrant and identifying the premises to be searched. The affidavit is submitted to a judicial officer for review and if found to be proper and legal under the law, the judicial officer signs it making the warrant legally sufficient. The officers actually serving only have to have knowledge that a signed warrant exists for that premises. They do not necessarily need to have it with them, although most do.
