Supreme Court says you gotta show ID (although case was from Nevada)

[/ QUOTE ]

OMG PEOPLE. All that case said was that in Nevada you can be charged with obstruction for not providing ID. This does not mean that you have to show ID every where in the country. The fact that it is a Supreme Court case does not mean there is now some federal law or something saying you have to show ID to cops. All it means is that states are free (meaning its not unconstitutional) to create such laws. New York state (the subject of this thread) does not have such a law. Not showing ID does not constitute obstruction in New York State.
