@DrewDad,
They are not bit upon request you have to prove you are legal to purchase them. So why is that ok but it is wrong in other instance, giving false information is a crime, so by the police officer asking for ID they are only verifiying the information given and ruling out that an additional crime is being committed...lol that is both weak and thin as an example but arguable non the less... Yes I do believe police, counselors and religious leaders are the most frequently lied to people.
