He's wrong and he should lose. Stores post that they have the right to inspect packages on leaving, and they have every right to do so to discourage shoplifting. They offer the opportunity to check bags that you bring into the store and do not examine the contents of those, since they are out of the customers control and cant be used to hide goods.

As far as the section of the Ohio law he quotes, it requires disclosure of Name Address and DOB. It does not specify the means of disclosure. Since that it is the information shown on a DL, and a policeman who suspects a crime cannot be expected to take the suspects word for it, the law can easily be interpreted as requiring some sort of identification including a DL.

Wow. How can you possibly think that anything you wrote is actually right?

Regrettably, the concept of basic civil liberties is almost dead in this country. Between the "War on Drugs", "War on Terror" and the illegal alien hysteria, we are rapidly approaching the point where you can become a non-person simply by losing a few documents.
