correct. But I was replying to someone else who said all 50 states. Which isn’t true.
Don't sugarcoat it.
Suspicious is not a crime, they have to have proof that you have committed, about to commit or evidence of a crime before they can require you to produce ID, they can ask all they want but your not required to give it unless you are operating a motor vehicle that is why it is called a driver license it is not technically a ID just proof you fulfil the .gov requirements to drive a motor vehicle on the .gov roadways.
Nope, a cop can not stop you just to see if you have a valid DL or ins. They must have a reason other than that to pull you over.
A DL is a state issued ID with a secondary purpose.
Don’t think they need proof for detention & ID. Only reasonable articulated suspicion is needed for a detention & ID in OK.
Oklahoma isn't a stop and ID state meaning that they can just walk up and ask you for ID, but an officer only has to demonstrate a REASONABLE belief a crime might be committed to detain and identify you and yes you must comply legally . It doesn't just apply to a traffic stop
Technically, your correct about the DL, but soon you will be required to have a Real ID endorsement on your DL which is a government issued ID card.
My drivers license has a real ID stamp on it. It will soon be required in airports, Some Federal Facilities, and Nuke power plants.
And I quote:
"The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005 to “set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses.” Because many forms of ID are issued by states rather than the federal government, they’re not all on the same page regarding security. The REAL ID Act aims to bring IDs used for high-security situations up to the same level on a national scale."
"REAL IDs will not be accepted for international travel, but they will be required for domestic air travel beginning May 7, 2025. A passport will be accepted as an alternative to a REAL ID, and it can be used for international travel."
You don't have to have a REAL ID though unless you want to get on a plane its why the state still offers the choice of one or the other and gives you the option . They passed a law so you don't have to obtain one it just doesn't get you onto a plane once the provisions kick in and that provision has been pushed back now about 3 times as states are still having problems rolling REAL ID out
I think you've got a typo in your first sentence.
No I don't Oklahoma ISN'T a stop and ID state there is no statute on the books for a stop and ID , my grammar was precise read what I said
