I get it, I mean the average person who is unable to show ID is up to no good. But it's kind of like the privacy argument... Good people have nothing to hide and criminals don't, so might as well give up privacy too...

But each new rule creates a tiny little bit of additional friction for everyone, a little bit more distrust, and it chips away at social cohesion (if that's still a thing) until everything feels like a shitty government school.

IDK what the answer is, it's self-evident that a hell of a lot of people need to be excluded before a high trust society will ever be possible, but the goal should always be that people who CAN be trusted should live in a society where they are.
