There is a fundamental difference between penalizing people for not carrying ID and penalizing people for not providing identification for the purpose of issuing them a ticket. The first is wrong in a free and democratic society; the second is mandatory for tickets to actually mean anything, especially to the worst scofflaws (I mean, realistically I’m not going to misidentify myself; but some guy who has figured out that if he does so he can violate the noise or dog poop bylaw as much as he wants sure will).
