And photo ID.

I learned recently that if you are not carrying state issued photo ID on your person, that you have a much better of being arrested and detained for a misdemeanor like trespassing or jaywalking. If you are taken to the station, they are more likely to hold you until you are properly identified.

If you can produce state issued ID, then you're more likely to get a written summons and sent on your way.

And if you're randomly stopped for no particular reason and asked to produce ID, you're much better off if you have that little card with you.

So I think that this Road ID (not state issued identification wrist band) is inadequate.
