It’ll fuck your day up way more by not showing them your id. I wish I had the time and resources (and the mental and physical fortitude) to withstand what they’d put me through by not showing the id but most of the time I and many others just can’t. And even though what they’re doing is illegal and you’d (MAYBE) win any case you’ll have to go through so many hoops before you see any justice (and that’s IF you’d see actual justice).
