Papers, bitte

Eish. They've started checking IDs on the Green Line. Apparently, if you are innocent, you are not supposed to mind.

Do you have a legal reference for that?

I can't find the refernce.

On the news yesterday when MA ID checks were reported, the reporter noted at the end that a a California Supreme Court decision stated that carrying ID was not required.

This was a case where a black jogger was often harrased and arrested by police for not carrying ID in a ritzy neiborhood.

Turns out, he was rich and a lawyer.
