True, we hand over our ID when we've committed a traffic violation. However, you can't be so naive as to believe an overzealous officer wouldn't pull someone over simply in order to check citizenship. It's happened. It went like this: Officer pulled over the vehicle for an alleged traffic violation. Took a long time checking the Hispanic American's identification, but spent little time checking my blond-haired cousin's ID, then let them go with no ticket. What do you think happened there? How many times would it have to happen to you before you felt your rights had been violated?
