@EYakoby Hispania was invaded and occupied. Islamic invaders were never natives. This is a well-known fact with several archeological evidences and documented evidences.
They forced their religion once they invaded Hispania and forced conversions.
This weekend an American hero returned home.
Deployed eight times and having been awarded the Bronze Star for Valor and two Purple Hearts, Corey believed he had more to give.
He died fighting for freedom in Ukraine - a warrior to the very end.
Semper Fidelis.
The father of Daisy — the 2nd unvaccinated girl to die of measles in Texas in just 2 months — says he has no regrets about not vaccinating her and does not plan to vaccinate any future children
Please vaccinate your children; it could save their lives

@RpsAgainstTrump This is the same type of "dad" who was portrayed in the movie "Idiocracy" that bred STUPIDITY into the world. He should be SNIPPED and prevented from breeding ever again.
@You_n_God@Jurkowsk1Moon @TaraBull808 ALL of Russia, kids included, should NOT be allowed to compete internationally. They have to be DESTROYED as a country.
Putin is positively Satanic.
We need to either adequately help Ukraine defeat Russia now, or we can simply wait a year or two, and then we can then fight Russia ourselves.
Those are our choices .
To address your query about which states allow police to demand your ID even if you’re just minding your own business and not committing any crimes—essentially subverting your Fourth Amendment rights—let’s clarify the legal landscape in the United States.
The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures, which generally means that police need reasonable suspicion—specific and articulable facts suggesting that a person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime—to stop someone and demand identification. This standard stems from the Supreme Court case Terry v. Ohio (1968), which established the framework for brief investigatory stops. Many states have “stop and identify” statutes, which allow police to request identifying information (like your name or ID) during such a stop, but these laws typically require that reasonable suspicion be present.
Your question specifically asks about states where police can demand ID without reasonable suspicion, implying a scenario where you’re simply going about your day, not involved in any criminal activity, and yet an officer can legally compel you to provide identification in a way that undermines Fourth Amendment protections. Let’s explore this.
Stop and Identify Laws in the U.S.
Several states have enacted stop and identify laws, including Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, and Wisconsin, among others. In these states, police can demand your name, address, or other identifying information under certain conditions. However, a closer look reveals that these laws consistently tie the authority to demand ID to reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. For example:
In New Hampshire, the law allows officers to request ID only if they suspect you’re involved in a crime.
In Nevada, the Supreme Court upheld a stop and identify statute in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court (2004), but this was within the context of a valid Terry stop—meaning reasonable suspicion was required.
In Kansas, an officer can stop you and demand your name and explanation of your actions, but only if they have reasonable suspicion.
Across these states, the pattern is clear: police cannot legally demand ID from someone who is simply minding their own business unless they have a reasonable basis to suspect wrongdoing. Without that suspicion, such a demand would likely violate the Fourth Amendment.
Are There Exceptions?
Could there be states with laws so permissive that they allow ID demands without suspicion? After examining the legal framework, no state appears to authorize this in the general context of pedestrians in public spaces. The Fourth Amendment sets a constitutional floor that state laws cannot undermine. Even in states with stop and identify statutes, the requirement of reasonable suspicion remains a prerequisite.
There are specific situations where ID might be required without suspicion of a crime, but these don’t align with your scenario of “just minding your own business”:
Traffic Stops: Drivers must provide a license when stopped, even for minor infractions, because driving is a regulated activity. This doesn’t apply to pedestrians.
State of Emergency or Secured Areas: In rare cases, like during a declared emergency or at certain checkpoints (e.g., airports), ID might be requested, but these are exceptions tied to specific contexts, not everyday public interactions.
For someone walking down the street, not engaged in any suspicious activity, no state law permits police to demand ID without reasonable suspicion. Any attempt to do so would likely be unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment, as courts have consistently ruled that suspicionless demands for identification from nonsuspects are unreasonable (e.g., Brown v. Texas, 1979).
Conclusion
No state in the U.S. allows police to demand your ID if you’re simply minding your own business and not committing any crimes, in a way that subverts your Fourth Amendment rights. Stop and identify laws exist, but they operate within constitutional limits, requiring reasonable suspicion. Without that, you’re not obligated to provide ID, and any state law attempting to authorize such a demand would conflict with federal constitutional protections.
