And then he goes on to say if you have done nothing wrong you shouldn't be refusing to show ID. He's making his cake and eating it too. He's saying if you done wrong the cops should be able to ask for ID, which is obvious fair. He then says if you have also not done wrong then you should have no problem showing ID. That's an issue. If we have done no wrong the cops shouldn't be asking us for ID and we should (and legally are) be able to refuse. People who have done no wrong should not have to answer to the police and should be able to go about their lives unharassed. That fact he thinks, and has stated it several times , that people exercising their right (which it is) to refuse to show ID to cops is a sign of illegal doing is worrisome to me.
