Is the MTA in NYC still subject to random ID checks?
- rmxt 12y agoNot sure if this is the latest legal practice, but it seems that the NYCLU has fought against this and won: http://www.nyclu.org/news/nyclu-victory-preserves-right-walk-around-without-id-take-photos-nyc-subway http://www.nyclu.org/news/nyclu-victory-preserves-right-walk... That's to say nothing of the 'license plate reader-like' identification that is feasible through MetroCard tracking. Unfortunately, your stuff is still subject to "random" searches. https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/1dm5fu/what_are_my_rights_regarding_random_subway_bag/c9rmqap https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/1dm5fu/what_are_my_rig... http://www.aele.org/law/2006LRSEP/macwade-kelly.html http://www.aele.org/law/2006LRSEP/macwade-kelly.html
- untog 12y agoI've never had my ID checked. Bag, yes. ID, no.
- iak8god 12y agoIf it is (or was), I'm curious what happens if a person doesn't have an ID. As someone well above the legal drinking age who does not own a car, I often go about my day without carrying my Driver's License or other state-issued ID.
