Now, I’m not a lawyer, but this doesn’t surprise me. I was always under the impression that you did not ever have to provide identification unless you were arrested, per the supreme court. Basically, this is the opposite, that you have to provide identification or you will be arrested. (I know that in some states you have to identify yourself to police, but that is verbal identification, not documentation.)

I could be wrong on this though (again, not an expert). I haven’t seen this angle covered and I was hoping someone could enlighten me.
