I get your drift.Ranting on all this ID crap
Buy beer? Show ID, yet we don't complain
Buy Smokes? Show ID, yet we don't complain
Get pulled over for speeding? Show ID, yet we don't complain
Cash a check? Show ID, yet we don't complain
In for a drug test? Show ID, yet we don't complain
Taking out a car loan? Show ID, yet we don't complain
Mortgage? Show ID, yet we don't complain
Purchasing a gun? Show ID, yet we don't complain
Have a gun and law enforcement asks for us to show ID and then becomes "Infringing on my rights!"
I for one grow tired of this whole ID thing. Yeah, flame me, ignore me, whatever.
JUST GIVE EM YOUR F'n ID
Ok, I'm done.
However:
In all of your examples YOU are asking for something. Be it a product or service.
In the case we are talking about it's the POLICE who are asking you for something.
Not to bring race into this topic. But if we were stopped/questioned/frisked as much as others say they are stopped we would be marching on Columbus.
