"Is it a violation of civil liberties for a cop to ask questions?"
If it's questions about your life and the cop doesn't make it clear that you can refuse to answer without any consequences, then yes, it very much is. Part of civil liberties is that you don't have to explain to anyone how you live your life unless there is some good reason to believe you did something illegal.
