The police can ask for ID if you're walking and fit a description ("negro in plaid shirt" I believe was the instance); also that Nevada case pending in the Supremes *may* mean that you must present papers. There was also a decision last year IIRC that said that car *passengers* had to show ID if asked. Not drivers, passengers. And of course its illegal to lie to pigs. And not vice-versa. Not sure if biking on a road requires ID, but you are subject to traffic law; I knew a guy who got a traffic ticket for running a stop sign. Also bikes may require licenses for $ in some towns.

It doesn't. You'll get harassed by cops if they stop you though. They can't do anything; they're just unhappy about citizens who don't show their papers.

No one gets those. But its possible that over-zealous cops could seize your $5000 Lightspeed because it doesn't have a $2 city sticker... for every city you ride through. Eric

I managed to get a ticket for riding my bike on the wrong side of the road. When the cop told me he was giving me a ticket, I said to him "you're not serious; shouldn't you be out catching criminals or something?" He didn't seem to appreciate it. Oh well, fuck him. -- Riad Wahby rsw@jfet.org MIT VI-2 M.Eng
