Government forcing you to carry ID

Forcing you to carry identification you when out and about allows police and ruling powers to throw you in jail if you dared to forget your ID, or throw you in jail and claim you had no ID. There are a number of things every tyrannical government does, one is they force people to carry ID with them all the time, another is they disarm the people (but that is a discussion for another time). My identity is no one's business but my own and anyone whom I choose to share it with.

The Federal Government has exactly 3 times when they are allowed to force you to produce identification: Entering or leaving the country at Customs, when arrested by Federal officers, and when conducting a transaction with them (taxes, welfare, voting, etc, etc).

I dunno about anywhere else, but nobody is forcing you to carry ID in the US,you retard. You won't be able to do much without one, but that's not the point.

You can't be arrested for not having ID. If you are a suspect and refuse to give your name, you can be arrested. You don't need your ID, but you do have to give your name. If you have done nothing wrong, you can ignore and refuse identification requests. It is not uncommon, though, that this will result in an unlawful arrest, which is a major inconvenience.

If you want to drive or do something prohibited to minors, though, you need an ID. Those activities are not rights, they are privileges.
