Ohhh! I am sorry to hear you had this trouble. Can't even have an arguement in public with your woman? Man, freedom is down the drain!
Your experience is so ridiculous. This would not happen in the UK. Sounds to me like the bank employees got freaked and thought you might have had bad intentions.
I wish you well and hope a judge just throws this incident out because it is just a big misunderstanding and lack of communication.
What a tit for tat world!

Haha, would not happen in the UK? It seems like anything goes in the UK, as long as the criminal isn't harmed.
free country?

Exactly, equal rights and freedom of expression for criminals! Yea! In the UK there is no law! Hahaha!

There certainly appears to be law. But it seems (from my admittedly biased perspective, as someone who does not attack other people nor break into their homes) that criminals are protected most of all. If someone forcefully enters your home and you defend yourself with lethal force (a reasonable response), you'll find yourself under indictment.
I'm sorry, but that is unreasonable. Breaking and entering is a violent act, and defending that which likely took you years of work to obtain is completely reasonable. Using violence to defend what is literally previous years of your life, and very likely future years of your life (in the event that the criminal intends to harm you), is completely warranted.
The UK seems unwilling to blame the attacker (in my above scenario, the home invader) for the violence that follows. That is unreasonable and worthy of ridicule.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. I just feel it wasn't right. I satisfied the requirements of a Terry stop from what I can tell. I identified myself by name. In fact he never once actually used my ID after my arrest. My wallet sat 10 feet from me unopened. It wasn't to keep a criminal off the street in my opinion. It was to stroke his tiny ego and show me who was boss. It's policeman like him who give the whole rap a bad name.

Lighten up! It was a joke, a little wit!
The UK is a very peaceful place, comparitively. I have travelled many places and the UK is by far the safest and has a warmth and civility lacking in many other places.
We are tough on real criminals, too. I live in a beautiful place where people are friendly. We just aint become the "revenge" climate yet. Here there is still forgiveness and some understanding for young people.
The U.S is getting far too heavy on its citizens!
BTW, I have no criminal record atall, never been in trouble as an adult.

Would it really have hurt that much to state why you were there and then to have given the officer your ID document when he asked for it? Bet if you did, he would of let you go with a smile as he is just doing his job, or are you hiding something
For all the officer knows, you could be a women beater that has been arrested before.
Imagine it was your daughter that was with a women beater, and the officer just let the guy go after he knew they were having an argument and the next day you find your daughter in a comma from been beaten.... Bet you going to run to the officer and sue him for not getting proper identification from the guy
Really works on my nerves when people think they are all high and mighty. Yes you might be Innocent but the cops cannot go around trusting everyone they come in contact with

I apologize, however, I did not sense any sarcasm.
You should realize that although the police here in the US are getting heavier on law abiding citizens, we do not experience excessive crimes in all areas. We're the size of Europe. Certain neighborhoods exhaust more police resources than others.
You can bet that any neighborhood with a majority of citizens who receive government subsidies are more likely to be riddled with crime. I would be willing to bet it's the same in your country and any other country. In the US, there are COUNTLESS opportunities for people to better themselves and escape their criminal/non-criminal lives. Most people do not take advantage of those opportunities.
And thus, we have ghettos riddled with violence and property crimes. I suppose when you give people things for free, they don't respect anything. Why would they? They never had to earn anything. When their property is destroyed, the "government" will just pay to replace it.
Everyone gets a government check, right? No worries. =
