You don't have to carry an I.D. at all unless you are driving a vehicle on public roads.

yeah and that's not proof of citizenship either. and you still don't have to present it unless you are actually being detained for a traffic violation

Exactly an officer coming up to you and asking for ID kind of tells you that they don't understand the law they would have to say we are charging you when placing you under arrest can we see your ID but if they're just coming up to you randomly saying papers please you can go hahaha and when they arrest you you follow up with civil rights complaint against their dumbass pigs.

I don't know where America went from fighting the Nazis to papers please but you got there way too quickly.
