Questions about the Hiible video

The cop asking for ID and arresting him for failure to comply was what the court case was about. The court said no he didn’t have to show ID but then threw the cops a bone by saying you do, however, have to tell them who you are. That sucks! What makes it worse, if the cop misspells your name or if you have a common name, the database may convince him you’re a mass murderer or something.

Part of the bigger problem is that some states require you to carry, and produce upon command, picture id.

The SCOTUS ruling, combined with the state laws effectively nullifies any ability to not comply.
