the 4th amendment does not say that you are not required to have a valid license and proof of insurance in your posession and produce it on the request of a public safety officer while operating a motor vehicle on public roads.....yet this author attempts to invoke exactly that. Requesting lawfully required documents from someone operating a motor vehicle is NOT an “unreasonable search or seizure” - it is not a search....or seizure. It is a lawful request....in fact this request (license and proof of insurance) is the first thing any driver hears from a cop who pulls anyone over - it happens MILLIONS of times every day, everywhere in this country, and being an illegal alien is not an exemption, or at least it didn’t used to be.
I agree with you: driving is “a priviledge,” and you should be required to demonstrate you have earned that priviledge by becoming legitimately licensed — which means you should be able to produce that license when requested to do so by an officer of the law. But the officer’s request is still a “search,” and therefore subject to the Amendment. What is at question here is whether “probable cause” is being applied without prejudice.
