Cops here in Arizona are...different, Scott.  I was doing a public star party 
at a school with the principal present.  We were, ahem, investigated by a cop 
with spotlights twice in an hour and a half, they pulled up 2 cars at once, 
flooding the field with spotlights, middle school children present, and refused 
to withdraw until the principal showed them identification and assured them we 
were legit.  The party was announced beforehand in the local papers, even.
I have no doubt of the events in Bullhead City.
