“If someone is pulled over without identification, for law enforcement, that raises questions and they tend to err on the side of bringing folks to jail,” said Kohli…. “If you can determine that this person is who they say they are, that gets rid of the additional uncertainty,” Kohli said. “I think what’s happening in Sonoma is really instructive. It’s telling us something: if people have identification they are perceived as much less of a threat.”
