- mullingitover 5y agoYou're talking about the UK, right? From what I understand they're still going to ID you one way or another (e.g. they'll just look you up in their database, just like police in the US will do if you don't have your license on your person).
- Scoundreller 5y agoSorta works that way in Canada too. At a DUI checkpoint where they pull over everyone without reasonable cause, the stop is supposed to be strictly to check for DUI. They’re not supposed to go poking around for more things unless it’s incidental to the stop (if they see a dead body, they can investigate that, but not supposed to decide to check your immigration/license/insurance status as a part of the stop).
