The sad thing is that a lot of cops in the US believe they can demand ID from someone, and many people who understand the Constitution are often mistreated for understanding their right.

 

If Liberty City were based in Singapore, then that would be reasonable. But Liberty City is based in America, so I would rather have the mods stick with cops being unable to violate the Constitution.

 

Edit: Wow, I though for the last day this was a suggestion for some reason.

Cops can't demand an ID card (well, they can, but you don't have to produce one), but you do have to tell them your name (Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada). Unless you're driving; then, you obviously have to show them your driver's license (I've heard that cops who really want to see someone's ID will wait until they get in the car, pull them over for some traffic offense, and get their ID that way).

cant believe people actually voted for yes....they must not live in the real world or they play lcpdfr way to much

@c13: LCPDFR is set in Liberty City. The LCPD's logo shows police brutality. Watch the ingame LCPD ads - they don't actually worry about things like "rights". Asking for LCPDFR to enforce following the Constitution is a bit much, given the game setting.

Not that it doesn't let you violate the Constitution already - you can shoot people you've arrested instead of taking them to the station, you can arrest people for looking at you funny, you can pull over people because you don't like the car they're driving (I sometimes pull over Faggios while I'm patrolling on a bike, just because), etc. It's a game, not a reflection of reality.
