By the way, can you explain how requiring an ID makes this a police state?

      Probably not, I have always had trouble explaining something that is obvious.
When was the last time you were pulled over driving without a license or other ID, and the cop said, 'Oh, no problem.

      But no driver should be pulled over until after there is evidence that he has broken some law.  The extent to which this principle is violated today reflects on just how far into a police state we have come.

      A "Traveler's License" has no place in a free society.

Nicely said. You are a bit more succinct than I.

oops, I meant to put in the phrase, 'pulled over for some violation or another'.

But are you really saying that any government which requires people to have an ID is a police state? Then we are for the most part a world of police states.
