So many were arrested without ID? Did they drive themselves without ID? And no one in my lifetime has ever looked for work without a proper ID available.
In Fla. one church decided to help the indigent with hot showers, breakfast and a bag lunch. They came from all over town and suddenly break-ins locally increased. The sheriff was adamant that each person taking advantage of this largesse had a photo ID, even offering to provide personnel to photograph these folks. The church absolutely refused to have these people "humiliated" by requiring ID for services.
