My experience with police has been limited but I did call them once to report an abandoned motor scooter in the woods next to the house. A motor scooter (moped, more correctly I think) not requiring a license is therefore merely property as opposed to a motor vehicle, by the way. But at any rate, the responding officer requested my identification, which is something I do not carry with me unless I'm actually driving. After all, it is a driver's license but also a generally acceptable form of identification. So I had to go get it. That was not a problem for me since I'm not sure that I can be all that anonomous standing in front of my own house.

It makes me wonder, though, when all this business of licensces, documentation, permits and so on started to become common?
