I admire your pluck and for standing up for principle, but I wonder how this works.
In my world, if a cop asks me for ID (like in a traffic accident, or even if I am just walking down the street at night, minding my own business) -- if I refuse, my understanding is the cop may throw me in jail (which I regard as a dangerous and inconvenient thing).
This is what puzzles me about the whole concern about cops asking suspected illegals for ID. If they can ask my european bred white middle class innocuous looking fanny for ID, why can't they ask a person they stop who looks like race "X" for an ID?
I'm honestly curious how you manage this, and whether you've been given any grief by cops about it (even if short of being thrown in jail).
In my world, you're not required to carry an ID unless you're operating a motor vehicle.
