"Interesting question, if you aren't driving why would/should you?

"

Well, in this video, although the truck was parked, the person had obviously been driving it. His daughter was in the passenger seat and it was parked just off the highway.

So, an ID or drivers' license request seems appropriate to me in the particular circumstances.

In any case, I understand that the police are often investigating something or another. If asked for identification, I will provide it. I have done so many times in my life, even though I have never been arrested for anything, or even had a traffic ticket.

Now, I realize that there are bad cops, but I've never encountered one. All the police officers I've had contact with seemed to me to be doing their job, legally and without breaking any laws.

So, yes, I'll show my drivers' license if asked. I can see no reason not to.

Now, I realize that some folks have had their license suspended or revoked. That's a pretty common reason for refusal to show the license, it seems. Was that the case with this guy? I'd bet it was.

You'd think that once you are on scene, seeing to the supposed victim would have been type of priority. Not body slamming her.

Firstly I agree, if it were me I'd probably show my ID, dunno for sure, I've been pulled over twice in 50+ years of driving and never been asked when I wasn't.

But it does rankle me that I would have to show "papers" if I'm not. Being a jerk shouldn't get you tossed in jail nor, IMO, should you be required to show citizen papers if you aren't, even if you were driving and the LEO didn't see you. You're not required, as far as I know, to carry state issued identification papers if you're not driving.

Was he driving? Was his license suspended? Dunno and neither did the cop.
