Being born and raised in a police state I can vouch that the US is a Police State - the cops have unrestricted, unchecked power and there are so many laws in the books that a law abiding person can end up in a jail just because he is wearing wrong color pants on a wrong day in a wrong town... And a lot of laws are written to punish a percieved INTENT and not actual crime... Say, someone is busted for INTENT TO SELL... or for intent to j-walk!! that is one of the reasons every person should have a DVR recording of all traffic stops... A police can ask for person's driver's license while person is driving, and check for alcohol but the citizenship has nothing to do with driving - do not allow illegals to have dr. license, so if there is no license, than the cops will have reason to detain a person, if there is a license, than the Dept of vehicles checked the credentials before issuing the docs... and the passenger should not be obligated to produce anything - but we all know that if you want to avoid being tased and drenched in your own blood, you should comply...
