re: #182 Aceofwhat?

It would be necessary because in the course of perfectly normal policing, ID would be asked for just as it is today…no harassing ‘show me your papers’ crap. Get a speeding ticket? ID + registration please. Simple - no profiling - everyone gets asked for ID and no one gets asked for their ‘papers’.

I understand the intent of the AZ law but i find it clumsy, alienating (heh), and prone to abuse.

Right my big problem was the “show me your papers” thing and also that individuals get to decide the standard for said request. So based on your example would we get rid of state driver’s licenses and just use the id card?
