Yeah, they were just doing this in the Bay area as well. Counting the minutes until it's not "voluntary" any more as they normalize us into accepting "groping for freedom".

I was in a city park, it was by border control agents. I showed them my ID, at that time it was from Missouri,but said it was not enough. They had to see better proof. Thank god I had my birth certificate with me. I only had that because I was going to a homeless expo to get my Arizona ID.
