Most cases are like this, but look into DUI check points if you want a better example.

I've been to all 49 states and in every state if a cop stops you and ask for your drivers license you must provide it or go to jail. It even says so in the DMV book when people get their drivers license . And the same goes for DUI check points, If a cop ask for your drivers license you must provide it.

Law's is law's whether we like it or not.

In most states you do not have to identify yourself to police. That's consistent with the 4th and 5th Amendment. However it's been ruled that somehow that doesn't apply to 'safety checkpoints'.

The Supreme Court had been very liberal in allowing the states to skirt around the amendments.

When you (example) run a red light and a cop stops you I guess you just say 5th Amendment and the cop must let you go. Now if in that exact example the cop stops you for running the red light just yell This is a good article. Follow the link for more information. Fourth Amendment and that cop must let you go.

Now grow up and try to think line an adult.
