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.


I would love to hear the results of you saying that if you are stopped and
boarded by the USCG. I don't think the same rules apply.

That even becomes a dicier situaltion if they decided to look at your
passenger's ID. There is no reason in the world to require a passenger
to carry ID.

Yes but it happens all the time down our way when they suspect a boat
is involved in people smuggling. USCG recently impounded a go fast
boat in our part of the world with little or no probable cause, just
suspicion.
