i've been stopped 3 times in 20 years. I've handed them my state ID. The one time I actually did get a ticket, I had the charges dismissed because the cop didn't show up in court. The other two, I was asked not to drive anymore. That may have had something to do with the cops knowing who I was by my gun rights advocacy on the news and in the papers.
I did not ask about the legality or propriety of police asking for ID, so I don't understand why you said my use of the phrase "in some circumstances" was somewhat incorrect.
You were "asked not to drive anymore"?
And you haven't complied with that request?
What will you do if the police stop you again and show up in court?
