Indeed.
We do, it’s called Real ID, any new driver’s licenses or state issued IDs must have them now.
I'm sure you understand how cops work here in the US. Even if we had similar laws on the books, cops would absolutely demand you hand over your phone, and if you refused, they'd make it a problem for you very fast.
You don’t handover when they demand to give the phone. You don’t have to be a jerk but politely decline.
Although that is not quite a national ID, not like Italians have. Some of those national IDs come with embedded chips, security certificates and your identity is also corroborated with your fingerprints. Real IDs in the US don't capture fingerprints, they just do a verification of legal status and address. Not at the same level as those national IDs. Not claiming the US needs such a thing. After all, those come from the times of fascist regimes and are as much identity documents as they are tools of population control/surveillance. However, with so many in the US claiming for ID verification for voting I am surprised they are not asking for a national voting ID card as they have in Mexico, which also works as ID.We do, it’s called Real ID, any new driver’s licenses or state issued IDs must have them now.

Not quite the same. Countries that have national ID usually mandate to obtain those IDs, usually during teen years. Nobody is obligated to have a US passport, US passport card, Real ID card, etc. Also usually, those national IDs are backed by capture of fingerprints (which those countries assure are not used for police purposes, but perhaps are). Some of those national IDs are remnants of fascist pasts and are as much IDs as tools for population control and surveillance. Usually people can be asked on the spot to produce such ID. Nobody in the US is expected to show a passport on the spot. Although green card owners are expected to be able to show the card on the spot if asked. My 2 cents.
Passport cards have a longer distance RFID designed to be read while driving into the US. I used it once at least at a land border crossing. I should be getting my Global Entry card in the near future. Also happy about the progress forward on digital technologies. Also on the progress of online renewal of US passports. Passport cards also work as nice Real ID documents. However, some people are not familiar with them, and can create confusion.
That’s a compliance requirement for a class of IDs issued mostly by states, it’s not a central federal IDWe do, it’s called Real ID, any new driver’s licenses or state issued IDs must have them now.

Yup, it’s a convenient option. Rather than replace my driver’s license right after I renewed it without RealID last year I made sure to request a passport card when I renewed my passport this year and tucked it into my wallet, that leaves me ready if realid *actually* starts becoming a flight requirement next year (assuming it doesnt get pushed back again)
I know. The app they created only works if it feels like it that day can't put my license on there either because DPS doesn't want to work
Oooh, good question.
I don't know what to tell you, dude. Go online and within a minute you'll have dozens of articles/videos of cops shooting people for literally nothing, let alone for refusing a direct order. This isn't up for debate - it's a fact.
If you think refusing to hand over phone for ID is same as people on those videos, I don’t know what to tell you.
I would absolutely not.
That's not true.We do, it’s called Real ID, any new driver’s licenses or state issued IDs must have them now.

Oh, I'm betting that the courts will decide handing the piggy your unlocked phone is consent to a search. And given how quickly FaceID unlocks a phone without intent, having your DL on your phone is just stupid.
