Here's what the Fox News story says: "Police tell Fox 5 that proper procedure was followed, that since Miguel didn't have ID they were obligated to try to identify him." That doesn't quite make sense, because arresting him doesn't make him any more identifiable.
I don't object to enforcement of quality-of-life crimes, and I consider the occasional ticket part of the cost of living in a city. I just want to know if I have to carry my driver's license to avoid being arrested in a case like this.
Personally, I'm astonished that none of the news coverage addresses the ID issue. In a city full of people who don't own cars, it must have come up before.
