So, being asked for a proof of identity violates one of your rights? Which
one?

Right to privacy. Right against unreasonable search and seizure....

Absent of being suspected of a specific crime there is no constitutional
requirement to say who in particular you are if you are in a public place.
Certainly private property owners can impose whatever restrictions on their
property use they wish, including the presentment of satisfactory ID, but
public property is not private, and the government can impose no such and
still remain constitutional.

(...) Is it, therefore, unconstitutional that the government require ID checks prior to allowing admission into CDC labs, for instance? These are government property, ie: public property, are they not? Dave! (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) So, being asked for a proof of identity violates one of your rights? Which one? I would be opposed to any other than a very brief use of my ID information, but giving it out to briefly check whether I am on a list of wanted people seems OK (...)
