Texas requiring ID for traffic stops

[1911'S 4 Me]

"Identification need only be required if arrested."

Interesting.

BUT you can be arrested for failure to identify?

 

[ScottDLS]

How would an officer ascertain one isn't a felon carrying a gun?
Surely one must carry some form of legal ID?

I don't care. I am not a felon and therefore it is legal for me to carry a gun.

 

[ScottDLS]

BUT you can be arrested for failure to identify?

No. You can't. You have to be arrested for something else, or be driving, to be required to identify yourself.

Are you a leo or a lawyer?

Are you a leo or a lawyer?

No, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I guess I could ask my real estate and tax lawyer or a cop a question on the law, but neither of them probably know it as well as me. If you or your lawyer or LEO friend think I am wrong, then post the statute and prove it.

 

[cycleguy2300]

No. Why should I? If I'm not driving, I don't need my Driver's License. If I'm going for a walk or a bike ride, I just carry my gun and maybe cash or a credit card if I plan on stopping somewhere.

Its not required by law, but its not the worst thing to have an ID with you in case you are injured and need next of kin to make decisions for you...

Yeah I just don't necessarily need a RealID qualified government identification or drivers license.

I've had smooth and not so smooth encounters with LE over the years and I prefer to make them as pleasant as possible for the officer as well as myself. If asked for an ID it is easier to provide it, than be fingerprinted in a holding cell to obtain identification.

 

[Brains]

I've politely declined to ID when it was requested, but not necessary. Didn't escalate, we continued the conversation and we parted ways with a handshake.

The general message is "don't be a dick."

Who said you did?

If pulled over for a traffic violation and you are the driver I agree. If walking on a sidewalk minding my own business I don't agree. If I observed an accident and the officer asked for my id for his assistance in the investigation I agree. You have to use common sense but no, you can't search my car as part of a routine traffic stop, you can't come into my house without a warrant, you know all of the rest.

I dont think anyone would disagree with that.

Know your authorities, know your rights and remember people are human. Being a dick and baiting someone into a ego battle will end poorly no matter if you are a cop, firefighter or civilian, ask politely, decline politely.

It's not hard.

Every little bit of resistance helps.

The easier you make it for Globalists to install Communism, the faster it happens.

That's funny, carrying a DL is akin to communism now....

For a while they wanted you to carry a vaccination card.

 

[Tnhawk]

For a while they wanted you to carry a vaccination card.

But it was for benefit of the public. FJB

 

[DoubleDuty]

Maybe I'm just another mod making a bad judgement. That's certainly possible.

But I try very hard to be helpful to our members.

So when you say you want to go back to the real world, I'll give you the same reply I give to everyone who expresses that sentiment as a part of a general "F this place!" tirade.

To wit -

I can help you with that.

I was waiting for this

Vaccination card (proof of being vaxxed) is still in existence today in some places if you need medical treatment...given the hideous adverse events that many have suffered by being vaxxed is still being ignored by bureaucrats in the medical field.

It's fk-ing outrageous!

Yes you do. The shapeshifters and aliens need to id you.

I heard some lawyer say one can't talk themselves out of going to jail but can talk themselves into one.

 

[LabRat]

All this talk about providing ID and now I hear that illegal aliens, who are being flown from the Southern Border to the interior, have a special TSA line where they don't have to show any identification whatsoever. And they board a plane and off they go.

We try that and we're in jail.

Geez this administration has screwed us so bad, we may never recover.

Sorry for the hijack; back to your original programming.
