        So cops can just walk up and say “hey show me your papers!” and you have to comply? Lots of us have issues with that. What if you’re at a protest or some other decidedly anti-statusquo do you still have to identify yourself? What obligations do the police have? Do they have to identify themselves (name/badge) or is it enough to wear a uniform?

          you can refuse, but then police can detain you. Im not aware of police having the obligation to identify themself and i never saw them doing that. As far i know them having the uniform is enough.

            I mean I don’t know where you are from but at least where I live they have to identify if asked to and they can’t just detain you without cause. While cause can be pretty broad, like there was a crime in the neighborhood, it can’t be “we don’t like your face”.

                Interesting, the United States is geographically very dispersed (the state of Texas is roughly the same geographic size as France) so carrying documents for internal travel makes less sense.

                Thanks for contributing to the discussion, I gave you a couple upvotes to cancel out the haters (not that those matter here).

                  well i dont how the fact you have a bigger geographic area justify not having id ? if you mean practical i can see it but since most of you take care for naything i guess having them in the car like assurance etc ( in my country we must have a lot of paper related to the car every time we takle it) i guess it would sork out for 90% of the time. But thanks for the upvote, even if yes it doesnt really matter. Its kinda hilarious et also sad that every time i come here i discover a world that so far from me and my conception of the world. And i feel like many ppl are so far away from like basic societal behavior. It s like how fuckcarr. They have a point but being crazy schizo online that wanna burn car its just so crazy

          You are talking rights and reason now!?!

          Only force matters here. How to starve them, drain them, terrorize them, and if needed…kill them.
