So you're saying that in Wisconsin it is standard police practice to violate the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
A few posts up reference was made to
Hiibel. That was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. It goes hand-in-hand with
Terry. It is VERY clear: unless there is a reasonable suspicion based on clearly articulable facts that a crime is being committed, has been committed, or is about to be committed, what a police officer can do is very limited. They can ask who you are, but they canNOT demand a document to prove it.
