P.J. Hairston, a star basketball player at the University of North Carolina, faced criminal charges and a possible suspension from playing basketball because he was not carrying his "guvmint" papers with him when he was stopped at a Stasi-style checkpoint in Durham, North Carolina. This is another example of the extremes that "law enforcement" will go to keep the street safe from dangerous criminals. Dangerous criminals who dare to drive without their "permission slip."
Texas law requires that all drivers carry with them a valid Driver's license. Texas prosecutors tell jurors that driving is a "privilege" not a "right." What they mean is that you are a slave confined to your own home unless the benevolent state grants you permission to exercise your natural God-given rights. If you are stopped by a cop and are asked for your "papers please," you are required to provide the cop with your Driver's license. You do NOT have to answer their questions which are sure to follow. "Where are you coming from?" "Where are you going?" "How much you been drinking tonight?" You are required to identify yourself, but you do not have to submit to their interrogation. Politely inform the cop that you are asserting your 5th amendment right to remain silent and ask the cop if you are free to go. If the cop says no, then you are detained and wait for his permission to leave. Do not consent to any searches of your person or of your vehicle. The Rest of the Story
