You voluntarily gave up your legal rights, I might have done the same in that circumstance. But you did give up your 4thA rights. Unless the trooper had reasonable suspicion that you had or were about to commit an illegal act he shouldn't have asked for ID.
Exactly.
Like a search of your car or home. An officer can ask if they can search, but the 4th Amendment protects you from illegal searches and seizures. If an officer and asks, and you allow them to search your car or home, they you waived your protections of the 4th Amendment.
ANY LE officer that wants to search my car or home, will get a search warrant before they can proceed. I do nothing illegal for any need for a search, but it's my 4th Amendment right.
I detest any officer that uses the reasoning of, "Well if you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn't mind if we perform a search."
Well, if that officer had any respect for our laws and our rights, then me exercising my rights shouldn't bother him.
