Randomly checking for a drivers license which you are required to have when driving. Many people who have had their drivers license suspended often drive their vehicles anyway. I would assume most states (if not all) require you to surrender you drivers license to the police when asked. I believe the law actually views the drivers license as the property of the state which would be where they have the right to revoke it.

BUT - what are they randomly checking for? The officer only asks for her ID, to establish her identity, that's a law enforcement function, he never asks for her registration, which would marginally be a safety/compliance function.

Random roadside checks have been legal in many states for years.... I can remember them as far back as 1982 in Texas.
