it has worked against many kinds of people in the US. go find someone that was an honest to goodness hippie how many times they were locked up for vagrancy. they round up the drunks down on the public docks on aregular basis. who do you think was a majority of the population of psychiatric institutions before those "reforms". and those were mostly white people.

You certainly do NOT have to carry ID in the UK.
There are situations where if you refuse to identify yourself you can get taken down the station until the *police* can identify you - the right to silence applies. And if they don't have another crime to charge you with, they have to let you go immediately on finding out who you are. The police can send a demand to the owner of a car, if that car is seen committing a road traffic crime, for identification (including tax and insurance), but you have a week and if someone else was driving you simply have to produce evidence to that effect. Please fact check before saying these things. |

No, again, they can take you down the police station, and identify you, if you fail to provide them with ID. They have to *immediately* release you on verifying your identity.
Thanks for the UK-bashing, though. |

Maybe us Americans could start up a charity called "send an illegal to the UK."
I am sure at least a few hundred thousand of us would donate towards that boat ride. ![]() |

![]() Sorry, UK, I'm sure you probably have real criminals too (just none of the ones from Guy Ritchie films). You do have terrorists though, so there's something. I'm guessing those terrorists are probably why you can be harassed by 5-0 for no reason. On the plus side, most of the cops there are unarmed and can't shoot you 41 times for reaching for your wallet. |
