There were lots of other people taking pictures there that day and on other days, were any of them stopped? Is it just the brown people we have to watch? At what point does a brown person become safe again? The mans name isn't Muhammed Mofasa, it's Ian Spiers. Hardly even an Arabic sounding name. I took some pictures of the ferries downtown, was I within my rights? Kevin, Good point. It's not about actual ID, just identification. Which is OK because no one would lie about their name right?

Kevin, Good point. It’s not about actual ID, just identification. Which is OK because no one would lie about their name right?

In the supreme court case, the police did not ask for ID, they asked for the person's name. The supremes argued mightily about whether just requiring you to give your name is an invasion of privacy. They were split, with the majority saying it was ok. All of the justices realized that the case was NOT about asking for ID or any other information other than your name. All they can do is rule on the case in front of them, and this case was not about "papers please." In fact, even several of the judges who said that asking for your name is ok expressed their doubts that asking for anything more would be ok. Actually, that’s not quite what they said.
