SA_Steve,
Sorry, I don't understand your post.
What's "not for me"
Refusing to provide I.D. when not lawfully required to or ...?
Please, elaborate.
Thanks!

Re: Police Knowledge of CHL
"If you're driving a car" definitely.
Given the scenario of simply walking down the street, while breaking no laws, you certainly aren't required by law to produce I.D, though many, many LEO's are also poorly informed about this too.
Many LEO's think they can demand I.D. of someone in the above scenario simply because they're LE.
Not so. Not in the scenario I provided.
Once again, I invoke ye old "we aren't in nazi Germany" yet...
If I'm ever in the above scenario and my "papers" are demanded, I will politely inform said LEO that I'm not required to carry I.D. while simply walking in public while breaking no laws.
I'd love to be taken in if this ever happens.
I have the time and resources to have a lot of fun if this ever happens to me.
As you may tell, this scenario is one of my pet peeves as motivated by my Dad, a WW11 vet, who had this happen to him.
Also, I'm very pro-LEO, but the demand for I.d. where no such has to be provided makes me crazy, ah, ok, crazier...

Re: Police Knowledge of CHL
If I.D. is requested by an LEO and you're carrying, you are obligated to show both D.L. and LTC.
If not carrying, and I.D. requested you are only obligated to show D.L.
However, do to many an under informed LEO if asked for I.D, show both to keep confusion at a minimum.
In the past, if not carrying, I would've just shone my D.L., but after hearing so many stories of poorly informed LEO's regarding LTC's, I've since changed my mind about being technically correct regarding what I do and don't have to produce...just show em both and be done with it.
Arguing by the side of the road (even when you're correct about your arguing about) is never a good idea.
Some LEO's might just hook you up because they're 'convinced' they're right. Later when it's proven 'you' were in the right will be too late to prevent a very inconvenient/humiliating for all experience.
Just show em both I.D.'s carrying or not.
