Man, that guy is so full of doo. Everyone knows if a Cop asks for your
ID you have to give it to him. Now one of the states out here on the
east coast just had a court hold up that the cops have to speak the
language of the person they pull over... This is such an opportunity for
fraud, I used to see my FIL pretend he didn't speak English when it was
convenient, do you think this will be any different?

reallly? everyone know this?

When do I have to show police my ID?

This is a tricky issue. As a general principle, citizens who are
minding their own business are not obligated to "show their papers" to
police. In fact, there is no law requiring citizens to carry
identification of any kind.

Nonetheless, carrying an ID is generally required if you’re driving a
vehicle or a passenger on a commercial airline. These requirements
have been upheld on the premise that individuals who prefer not to
carry ID can choose not to drive or fly.

if you're suspected of a crime, cops CAN require you to show ID:

That is a loophole you can drive a Crown Vic through. Terry v Ohio
made "reasonable suspicion" a pretty low bar to jump over.

agreed. it's the difference between having cops mind their own
business and 'VHERE ARE YOUR PAPERZ!!"
