Now your school may require you to carry ID while on their property but the state does not require a ID, no matter what the campus police officer said, he just misinterpreted the ID law. Identifying yourself and carrying ID are two different things. If an officer has reasonable suspicion that you are lying and can articulate that suspicion you can be detained while the officer attempts to verify your id. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Otherwise, criminals and those with warrants could just walk the streets without fear of arrest if they just carried no ID. There is no law that says you must carry ID.

2009-07-24 21:00:55 +0000	Lets just say this. If you do not have I.D. when a cop asks for it they can take you to jail just to find out who you are and make sure you are who you say you are! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
