So nice to see all of the sheep that commented on this thread.
If ever it comes down to a real fight, please don’t pick my foxhole to sit in. I want to know someone is going to be there when the going gets tough.

I got your back dude. If someone ever demands to see your receipt in a fox hole, I’ll go down swinging...heh.
When the state has the power to arrest you simply because you fail to provide your DL, even when not operating a vehicle, I will fight to have that law put aside.
Currently, the state does NOT have that power. Nor do businesses have the right to search you at random. If they suspect you of a crime, they can detain you, and then call the police.
This is a case that could easily have gone away, if the victim here had just bent over and followed the demands of those who were trying to unlawfully detain him, or to the demands of the policeman who was unlawfully demanding to see a DL of someone not in control of a vehicle.
It’s an individual’s right to choose which path to take, in the face of such wrongful detention, and maybe most of us would have chosen a different path.
I will not criticize a man who decides to take a stand on principle, when defending his rights.
I will question his judgement in contacting the ACLU, however, since they only defend the rights of those who wish to perpetuate evil.
