Unless they have probable cause they better not ask for my ID cuz I'll
tell em "I'm your boss, the taxpayer, go away". I thought this issue
was settled in a case in Wy where a guy sitting in a truck was asked for
his ID by a cop for no reason. He had not been driving, he was just
waiting for someone. He refused and was arrested. Court ruled cops
have no right to ask for ID for no reason.


Yeah, but. The standard is not probable cause, it's reasonable suspicion, and you *can* be
prosecuted if you don't identify yourself.
