I’ve heard the argument that forcing people to have an ID is anti folks with disabilities and anti-poor since it requires someone to go to an issuing agency to obtain and pay for one, which could be putting someone out who has a mobility disability or doesn’t have a lot of money.

I’m not making the argument but it’s an argument I’ve heard.

If the government needs people to have IDs, then maybe the government should provide those IDs for free...

I happen to agree, but it isn’t only the government that requires IDs if private companies are asking for them as well.
