So... you won't mind finding yourself spread-eagled on the ground with
a 9mm against the base of your skull just because the cops think you
look suscpicious? Have fun!

Totally irrelevant, and childishly irrational.

FIrst you let the camel put his nose in the tent, then you wind up
with the entire camel...

I don't know where you are from, but in the US, the camel has had the right
to put his head in the tent, any time he feels probably cause, for a very
long time. And if he feels further cause, his ass and the rest of the pack,
will surely follow.

Refusing to ID yourself, or taking some kind of silly arrogant stand based
on your perceived rights, simply slows his progress in moving on to the next
guy, and greatly increases your chances of becoming an innocent victim of
blind justice. You are dealing with someone who is often working for near
minimum wage, and has the states authority to arrest and charge you with
anything he feels proper. If you happen to be strolling through a
neighborhood where something really bad has happened, and you look anything
like a description he has been given, a bad attitude can easily be the
difference between walking on home, and being charged with something that
can easily cost even an honest person, enough money and years to buy and
enjoy a good used airplane.

So do as you choose. In my country you certainly have the right. But trying
to stiff-arm a cop during his routine duties, and publicly blasting them for
doing so - aids the efforts of no one but the bad guys, and could easily
cost you more than you have to spend.- Hide quoted text -

Well, I don't know what police state you live in, but in the state of
Idaho, police don't get to go around demanding to see your ID on the
spot unless you are doing something that is in violation of a law.
They don't get to pull you over either unless they have have violated
a traffic law.

You must live in Massachussettes where the authorities peed their
pants over a lite-brite advertisement...
