30. Before I got a driver's license I got a State ID card so I could write checks.Simple as that.

It had my photo and signature on it, as well as similiar information to a driver's license. Everywhere you go in the shopping world people want to see your license as a convenient means of identification before accepting your check, and if you don't drive you are quite inconvenienced.

However, the notion of producing ID on demand for the cops without them having some kind of "probable cause" is just creepy. It may be legal for them to do so, but I find it chilling -- kind of like having a wall at our borders.
