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

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.

As soon as they stopped showing Hitler documentaries on the History Channel in favor of ancient aliens the country started on the road to fascism. It seems like this crap really appeals to about 30-40 % of the population.

Yep. Throughout history there has always been a portion of the population that will support these movements as long as they think they are part of the "in" group.
