Beat me to it. Maybe this law will make their heads explode.
The person the fingerprints and photograph comes back to after being verified hours later in the system.
It’s funny how people with licenses have their prints on file and picture. It’s like they forgot they gave up their prints and photo.
Texas law does require you to have your DL on your person when driving. Its not wise to be ignorant and obstinate...

One way I used to get a lot of good drug arrests was “demanding” they show me their drivers license, then restating for the camera and person “are you refusing to give me your license upon my demand”? It was like winding them up and putting a bow on it for the jury and judge.
Most times I could just run and verify stuff. But if the wanted to play games, game on. “I demand to see your license.”
Funny thing was if they just showed me their license vs arguing about it, they would have been busted with drugs, firearms, stolen property, etc.
But they thought they could argue the reason for the stop, and not display their license.
The sheer number of miscreants who drive on suspended or never ever having a DL pisses me off, plus no insurance.
I've seen a number of YT videos where the turds have outlandish reasons for driving without and why they get away with doing so, over and over again pisses me off.
Oh, the jails are overcrowded?
Put in em tents...good enough for our military good - enough for these scum...
Why am I so outraged?
Been Tee-Boned by one of these incompetent driving scum - no license, no insurance.
They keep being let off and let off and let off...

Drunk ran me down way back. suspended license for repeated DUI. went free because I was a 'racist' for trying to sue. still half blind and limping. probably noted this before. My wife got totaled and ambulanced back in 2017. He was found guilty of DUI but got away with a fine and no jail... same reason. Insurance canceled us instead because Filipina women are considered high risk drivers. They didn't want to pay for her medical.
So how is this different that providing your DL when pulled over?
New Texas law requiring ID at traffic stops goes into effect Friday
A new Texas law goes into effect Sept. 1 which makes failure to identify oneself to a police officer after being pulled over a misdemeanor.www.kltv.com
I am not the sheeple folks...
I will continue to refrain from providing my ID without a clear reason.
I am aware of my rights, and this "new law" clearly violates our Fourth Amendment rights.
If I am pulled over for a moving violation or a registration issue, I understand that I must provide my ID as I would have broken the law. This is already established, considering driving is a privilege, not a right. As I choose to drive instead of using other modes of transportation, I will provide my ID only in such instances where I have violated the law.
HOWEVER!
If I am pulled over without any valid reason, merely because an officer wants to check my ID with no violation on my part, or simply because I seem suspicious, I WILL NOT COMPLY. I will continue to assert my right to decline without facing any repercussions. This applies to my passengers as well; they will not be subjected to ID checks simply based on an officer's assumption.
My understanding of the Fourth Amendment protects EVERYONE against unlawful searches of my person and belongings. Given this, I am skeptical about the legality of this "law." I have come across videos on YouTube showing individuals being confronted by officers in parking lots while engaging in routine activities, such as eating or simply enjoying the sunset. Officers demanded IDs with no apparent reason other than to potentially fish for a ticket. In such scenarios, I stand firm – I will not cooperate, and I expect officers to respect citizens' privacy and refrain from harassing them.
If not clear already:

- I will record all interactions for my own protection.

They have always asked for my ID. What's different now?

It's not hard but I have forgotten or misplaced my wallet a few times.

Have you ever been pulled over by an officer “just to check your license”?

The System does not serve me.
The System is designed to extract maximum revenue from me.
Universal Digital I.D. everywhere at all times helps codify and strengthen that maximization.

Yesterday Auron MacIntryre wrote a pretty good article about the retarded "Sovereign Citizens" and the equally retarded "Constitutional Conservatives"....
MacIntyre: The danger of zombie constitutionalism | Blaze Media
If you want a good laugh, you can enter the phrase “sovereign citizens” into your favorite video search engine and find endless hours of delusional people being arrested by the police. Sovereign citizens are a loose collection of individuals who believe they can evade the authority of the police...

The U.S. Constitution died in 1865.
If you refuse to identify yourself to a Police Officer, they will arrest you, and have your car towed.
I encourage you to experience this a couple of times.
After cutting that second $300 check to the tow company to get your car back, go visit your local District Attorney and let him educate you on the 4th Amendment.
Learning the difference between Theory and Reality is an important part of growing up.

They cost too much to replace when I lose them.
I'm gonna get one of this RFID chips in my arm so I don't need to worry about it ever again.
