In Texas at least, to ask for ID does not require probable cause. TX law requires everyone over 17 to have some type of ID. Also, all passengers in a car can be questioned as a result of the traffic infraction since all of them are technically ‘temporarily detained’. Usually the passengers are questioned based on the behavior, attitude, or stories of the driver and/or passengers, but the identity of the passengers can also be confirmed as part of officer safety protocols.
Over 17 REQUIRED...?? Bit less luster on that lone start, IMO.
Guess I should suspect no less on the King’s roads, eh?
