Perhaps I should have been a bit more clear. SCOTUS as the deciding court is the Supreme Court of the United States. The US Court of Appeals for Texas and Lou. is the Fifth Circuit. The decision was handed down on appeal from Texas over LEOs authority to compel identification. Identification and the level of identification depends on the situation. If you are jogging in your shorts and no id, you still have to give your name and perhaps answer a couple of questions to verify that you are in your rightout space and not out for a nightly rape. That said, if you wanna give the LEO a hard time and be a wise guy, you could end up spending large amounts of time with the LEO's fellows while they decide on what to do with you.

If you are taking photos of an event which includes investigators, LEOs arresting people or all sorts of enforcement events, the LEOs have PC to demand your identification and address with phone numbers as a potential witness. If you are anything approaching pro as a soul stealer, you should carry business cards with good contact info.

The rules for military are based on orders issued by CnC from the 90s as to no POW on facility except in transit and undercontrol. The id's guide appears to represent the political wishes of local prosecutors who do not like self defense nor anything about POW with civilians or mbrs of the military services. We do get the officials that we elect. 73s

If I remember my Texas Statutes correctly, any Commissioned Peace Officer can demand production of a Texas DL without PC. Additional, coverage provides that an individual in Texas regardless of military status must produce identification upon request/demand of Texas LEO with or without PC. Failure or refusal to produce identification or properly identified will get you a visit to the local lockup until you are identified. A Texas based individual took the case to SCOTUS. We the individuals lost. Sorry about that but be prepared to id yourself at any time and as I tell my young airmen and officers..........make sure you have paid off all your tickets in Onelight, Texas. Or be prepared to spend time at the local lockup. 73s
