I can't see the image because I'm at work and it's not coming up be if the police officer had an excuse to ask for ID then he's doing his job. <BR>He can use the same excuse to ask for mine.Again, that depends on the circumstances for asking. Are we not free to walk down a road without our motives being questioned? Look REAL CLOSE at this:Who's freedom are we giving up? How about the farmer and his dog? Who's protecting his freedom and rights? Who's protecting his land? Asking for ID takes no freedom from anybody.He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither. Even if it means giving up your fellow mans freedoms for your own security. . .I’m sorry but there aren’t any white Mexicans crossing the boarder illegal. We need to fix this problem and if in tales “profiling’ then I think we should. The security of our nation far exceeds the little inconvenience to some of our citizens like asking for ID.Do you see the potential flaws with this? Suppose a cop is driving by a neighborhood and sees a bunch of guys just casually sitting on a porch conversing, he could use the excuse that he suspects all the individuals might be living there and are in violation of rental codes which only permit so many occupants in a residence, and use that as justification to ID all individuals. Well, what if the individuals he wants to ID don't have one on them.... after all, one does not need an ID just to be somewhere, they are not driving any vehicle, maybe they walked to their friends house and have their I.D. at home... why should they be subject to such scrutiny? Would you like that, do you consider that being free? Or maybe use a city ordinance excuse like "YOUR GRASS LOOKS PRETTY HIGH" Now show me some I.D. Or perhaps you have a car up on jacks because your changing the oil... show me some ID. THAT I have a problem with. . .
