I have never been asked that in my 28yr's of driving but maybe that's because I am respectful, courteous and do not drive or act like a fool. When an officer run's your tag, before they pull you over, they can get a sense of that person's attitude or persona but that is just my outlook.Mr.Scott wrote:I don't see what the fuss is. 9 times out of 10 an officer is going to ask if you have any weapons in the car.
If you have nothing to hide why should it be an issue?lunchbox wrote:what is my responsibility to show ID not in a traffic stop??
Also concerning the Game Warden issue one must realize that in Texas there is no other law enforcement officer, except maybe a Texas Ranger save the research, that has the authority of a Game Warden. Quick scenario to use as an example oky doky, a good friend of mine who is about to graduate with a degree in 'law enforcement'' told me this story about one of his professor's who is ex-CIA.
The story went like this, the professor was an active CIA agent at the time and took his young son fishing. After being observed by a TGW that said TGW decided to do a fishing license check on him. The CIA agent did NOT have a fishing license but decided he would hand his CIA ID card to the TGW along with his license expecting some sort of courtesy and was shocked and shot down by the reply he recieved. I was told the TGW told the CIA agent "son that license dont mean crap to me" and proceeded to write a ticket for fishing without a valid license.
