    Having an ID can help if you do get arrested. But that’s about all I carry.

      Why do you need an ID? Leave it in your car if you’re driving.

      I don’t think there’s a single state that requires you to actually carry documentation.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes

      These are the states that require you to at least verbally state your name, and only if the officer has reasonable suspicion that you have or will commit a crime.

      They can ask your name. You may not have to answer.

      Research your state’s law on this before you go. It’s in the link.

        Regardless of the law, you can be detained by law enforcement if you cannot prove who you say you are until you can prove it.

        There’s legal requirements, then there’s practical dealings with officers in the field. Seems to me that these days if you’re “undocumented” you’re asking to be sent to processing which can be a quick trip to a center somewhere across the country, if that’s the mood they’re in. After you get out you can try to sue them, maybe even win, but how long before you collect your damages?

        “No ID found, this must be an illegal”

        -ICE probably

    Also bring an ID and some cash. E.g. to buy some snacks/meal/water if the day goes longer than you planned for.

  And take a burner phone if you must absolutely bring one.

      Yeah. And, leave the other at home. Somehow, that mutual exclusivity between devices made me write “or”. Hehe.
