I read the article in its entirety b/4 any post. What was quoted there was for a specific incident which was not what was involved in this suspicious incident (re; the cop being called).
Relating the request for a driver’s license to driving in this case is misguided.
Demanding he produce anything to the officer is more than misguided; that, in itself, was against the law. The law states that a citizen must only provide a name, address, and date of birth. When operating a motor vehicle, then the officer has the right to demand a driver's license.
