Yeah; I'm old enough to remember when talking to a policeman at all was very rare- you could actually tell your kids to seek one out for help and expect that they wouldn't be clubbed casually. Chas

Do you think you sound like you're making a valid point by using terms like "due process" out of context? Someone does not need to exercise his privilege to drive. Yet the person still has the right to travel, with or without a driver's license. There is no due process involved, nor a waiver of due process rights. > > I think that every state offers a non-driver's ID > > card that is just as valid for ID purposes as a driver's license. > > Yes; another option for an adult i.d. card- > 'yo'r paperz pleez' Someone doesn't have to obtain a non-driver's ID card any more than you need a driver's license. But its foolish to think that you will be granted access to do what you want and go where you please without identifying yourself to appropriate personnel (public AND private) from time to time.

What city requires ID to ride the bus?

You know, you keep referring to this waiver of constitutional rights. Yet one who has a drivers license and operates a vehicle has the same rights as anyone else. You must be referring to the fact that there are different rules permitting the stops of motor vehicles that stopping people who are walking down the street. Yet these are not "waived" constitutional rights, these rules are *based* on the constitution and the bill of rights. Specifically the language in the fourth amendment that doesn't prohibit any objective search or seizure, it simply prohibits "unreasonable" ones. > > So don't get a driver's license.

We don't control free movement; we control who can operate complex, multi-ton machines that could easily cause serious injury or death if improperly used. > > Don't drive, and you don't have to worry about abiding by the rules of > > the road.

Nope, a passenger cannot be forced to provide identification without reason. Do you have caselaw that says otherwise? > Riding may be a privilege as well- It's not. It is an absolute right.

There isn't a person in the county that benefits from every single government expenditure. |
