If a cop demands your ID when you have no obligation to give it, your answer should be something to the effect of "I hope you get hit by the next passing 18-wheeler".

Malignant authority needs to be treated with maximal hostility. The 'lesson' you want here is completely backwards.

That answer would mean that you’re are on drugs. And your being on drugs means that the cop can request your id.

America is a free country. Everyone can ask you for everything. I can ask you for money. A cop can ask you for an id. No need to rush and provide what you were asked for. But that 18 wheeler thing is extremely counterproductive.

I said demand, not ask. Demand requires reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime.

Many cops arrest people for not providing identification when they're under no obligation to do so. Those cops should be insulted, and deserve consequences.

I see zero difference between verbal asking, verbal request and verbal demand. Probably that’s because English is not my native language. Could you please provide a sample of each one?

Your second text creates the impression that if the cop arrested you for non-compliance - then what was before was the demand. If yes, my point still stands: insulting the cop who had arrested you will not make him let you go. Probably it can only make your situation worse. Counterproductive, as was said.

No, you're right they make it intentionally vague.

Best thing to do is shut the fuck up.
