up over the hills, theres nothing to fear
theres a pub across the way with whisky and beer

I remember having debates 20 or 30 years ago about how if we were not careful the authoritys would be able to demand our "documents" on demand for no reason, just like they did in the Soviet Union.
Halt. Let me zee your paperz.

You must produce a Driver's License only when stopped in a vehicle.
During any other stop or questioning by police, no ID is required. It is sufficient that you identify yourself verbally. Answers are required to be truthful.
You may refuse to answer any questions but that may make things more difficult.

Well at least they didn't shoot him...
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
REI hit him with trespassing, which tells me to stay the heck out of their stores who knows who they will say is trespassing next. I would Email REI but I can not seem to be able to find their contact email. If anyone knows it hit me up I would like to inform them they have lost my business until they apologize publicly.
The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us
I stand by my post- you are not required to show ID- however you must identify yourself.
Just 'cause you say it ain't so doesn't mean I'm wrong. Bring something better than what I have to the table

This never would've happened in Atlanta, the guard would have been concerned about looking down the barrel of a Glock if he came at someone with a pair of cuffs. It could happen in good ol' Jersey 'cause they've allowed their politicians to neuter them.

I have refused to show ID or give up my name without a just reason.
What a curious thread. It has nothing to do with hiking or camping, but seems to stoke some people's deep-seated suspicion toward the authorities.
