If you do not have a proper ID you had better get one and keep it on you.1. I don't fly 2. I have been treated at three different hospital emergency rooms in the last few months and never had to show ID. Only showed my Blue Cross card. Same thing at doctors offices - never had to show anything more than my Blue Cross card and if I were paying cash then I would not even need that. 3. I never had to show ID to vote in NYC. I drive so I do have a drivers license but if I didn't all I would have are credit cards and those are not considered ID. Many people in the NY metro area don't drive and therefore don't have ID. Heck - my employer can't even sign up the majority of employees for direct deposit. A significant percentage of our workforce does not even have a bank account. Also the very fact that cops ask for ID for no good reason is abhorrent to me - we are not living at the East German border crossing: "Papieren Bitte"... None of that would have mattered in this case. The police cited the magazine editor for illegal photography - the ID issue was secondary. The cops were not going to allow the photography to continue ID or no ID. |
