Like its such a burden to carry a 2.5x4" card with you! What if you have a stroke or heart attack out on that walk? You might be in the hospital unconscious for days before they figured out who you were. Not only would it make your care more difficult because they dont have your medical history, but your loved ones would be worried sick wondering what happened to you.
I'd be embarrassed to use this as a defense, especially since it's been brought up 5-6 times already and covered.
There is no law requiring citizens carry ID with them at all times. If you drive a vehicle, you need a license which in many cases is an ID.
The green card holders have to carry their green card at all times, as the law. many don't. Some carry a copy of the greencard since they do not want to lose the original. But not carrying the card and carrying a copy is a misdemeanor, if you are prosecuted.

If you are 18 or older, you do have to carry your green card with you. Section 264(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (I.N.A.) requires all lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to have “at all times” official evidence of legal permanent status.
No teenager is going to worry about whether he hits his head and ends up in the emergency room where he cannot be identified, for God's sake. They think they're immortal.
This has to do with a cop who is hassling a kid and telling him he fits the description before they even had a description.
Yeah walking around with no way for anyone to identify you if you fell unconscious or dead is such a statement of freedom.
People like me and millions of others volunteered to join the military and defend liberty and freedom and the interests of US corporations around the world. (lol I am a realist)
In the military we all wore dog tags. In my job (carrier flight deck) we laced them into our boots because if you get sucked into an intake you go in head first. Also I worked on aircraft radar which has 27kv circuits, they dont mix well with metal tags on metal chains on your neck.
Anyway I never heard anyone complain about their liberty being threatened over it.
But then the military tends to break that kind of stupid **** out of you in boot camp.
Edit before someone catches it: except for thinking its a good idea to put a guy on a horse and bolt it for a prank.
I was in the Navy, we never wore dog tags except in boot camp which they were substituted for not carrying ID cards, and had a medical tag if needed. I also never carried my ID nor ID of any kind often when off base.
When you are working with/around live electric, you do not have metal of any kind on you, no one can inside the rubber room.
