Thanks Bev. I was wondering what the legal aspect on this is. Does anyone know if police are allowed to ask you for identification at any point in time? Like they do in other countries. And if you don't have identification on you they can, if they want, take you to the station until someone comes and identifies you positively. I don't think that's such a bad idea. Do we have that here? melanie
