This is such a lazy reply. Even 10 seconds Googling would tell you Americans don't need to provide ID to the police (unlike other countries) unless you are operating a motor vehicle.

Unlike many other countries. I live in Europe and certainly don’t need provide an ID without a cause or even carry one with myself

> “I live in Europe”

You don’t say.

Comment I was replying to said: "This got reported up the chain of command and OPD intelligence set up traffic stops all around the neighborhood perimeter. That was it. They just asked for ID of everyone leaving the neighborhood and recorded them"

So are you saying that didn't happen?

Police are allowed to stop traffic and get drivers IDs. It think that's true in every country?
