“Obtaining a suspect’s name in the course of a Terry stop serves important government interests,” wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy for the majority, referring to an earlier case (Terry) that permits the police to detain people on the basis of a suspicion that falls short of the traditional standard of “probable cause” for arrest.
That's always the first step to dictatorship. Always. And dictatorships alway lead to stagnancy, or backwardness.

That's why we have a Constitution that should not be manipulated for temporary emergencies. You stand as a man and take the temporary hits and keep your back to the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the most perfect standard of government ever seen on this planet.

I'm sick and tired of people panicking and forgetting what got us to the node of making this planet a base for conquering the solar system and then the worlds beyond.
