What do people expect when law enforcement encourages and recognizes inmates in prison "finding Jesus" and getting out on parole with that consideration in mind. It shows me that the deck has been stacked in advance. Those claiming religion win.
As for ID, I used to ride around with a cop in a small town years ago. For the record he kept a notebook with time, date, and names of those we saw out on the streets late at night. It was assumed they had to show ID, and he explained to them that if no mischief was reported later within that time frame and location there was no problem.
