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".

9. Already heard it here in Tucson.

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.
