We need law enforcement officers to check IDs

What is wrong with a law officer doing his job?
Two times in my life I have been stopped by the FBI. Once was in Baton Rouge. My wife and I had to go to New Orleans for a family event. I had to work the day of the event, so I told my wife to take the kids in the car and I would catch the bus after work.
When I did, an FBI man walked up to me, showed his ID and asked me for mine. I showed him my ID and he said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Boone. We are looking for a German who looks just like you.” I said, “I’m glad I’m not him.”
I was glad these men were doing their job.
