You cannot just stop people on the street and ask for their papers. They broke no laws.
Really? Show me the law that says a Border Patrol officer can't initiate a conversation and make a polite request for ID (and no, calling a driver's license "your papers" does not make it sound ominous, it just makes you sound like a moron), or that those women didn't have every right to politely decline.
A uniformed officer comes up to you and asks for a ID. You are the one who sounds like a moron and jack booted thug to boot. They broke no law and the officer in question did not say they did not have to give up their ID.
I don't have a guilty conscience, nor am I a trantrum-throwing drama queen, so law enforcement officers hold no fear for me. Neither does conversing with them, or politely asserting my rights (largely because, unlike you, I actually know what they are). They're human beings, not ogres. Get a grip.
Furthermore, OF COURSE he didn't tell them they didn't have to give him their ID. He's not their lawyer; it's not his job to give them legal advice on their rights. If the fucking rights are so g*damn important to them, the way they and you and every other hyperemotional snowflake around here keeps screeching, shouldn't they - and you - at least take the trouble to KNOW them?
Law enforcement pretty much counts on criminals, and people in general, to be stupid. Why are you doing it?
I hold my Constitutional rights as very dear. Violating people's constitutional rights does hold fear to me because I could be the victim. Being stopped and asked for a ID is not a conversation. ICE regularly uses questionable tactics. They were recently told by a federal judge that they were liars because they falsely accused a DACA recipient of being a part of MS-13.
To Deport a Dreamer, ICE Claimed He Was “Gang-Affiliated.” A Federal Judge Ruled That ICE Was Lying.

He had no right to ask them for their ID. He had no right to keep them there for 35 minutes after that.
Corrupt cops rely on stupid people like you to look the other way and make excuses. Why are you doing it?
Spare me, Chuckles. You wouldn't know your ACTUAL Constitutional rights if they crawled up your pants leg and bit you on the left ass cheek. What you're "holding as very dear" are your imaginings about your rights, and your inflamed sense of entitlement. You've made this abundantly clear. And it's no wonder you're going through life trembling in fear: if I was trying to sustain a fantasy of the world in contradiction to all the reality around me, I'd probably be afraid of having my bubble burst, too.
Meanwhile, back here on planet Earth, the word "conversation" carries no requirement that you like or enjoy the topic, so yes, an officer requesting your ID does qualify, however much you enjoy a good shiver about "jack-booted thugs" and ludicrously overblown descriptors.
Other than that, I see that you have opted to cravenly chicken out and signal utter surrender by resorting back to "This is reality! I say it is! No proof, it just IS!" instead of manufacturing some maturity and offering fact.
Your acknowledgement of your total defeat in this debate is noted, and you are free to go. Buh-bye, twit. You don't even know what the 4th Amendment is.
I have a better acknowledgement of them than you do. I guess you are one of those people who piously assert Constitutional rights when it affects you but look the other way when it doesn't.
A uniformed officer comes up to you and says he wants to see a ID and that is a conversation to you. You live in a alternate reality that is more akin to Russia where you can be stopped for anything. Where officers are not held accountable for illegal actions. You apparently work overtime making excuses.
Your reality is a fantasy world you live in. A officer stops you and asks for ID. That is not a conversation. That is a detention. The fact is that you are not interested in facts. You have decided you don't believe these Hispanic women should be here so no fact will change your mind.
You don't even know what the 4th Amendment is.
You are the one who is leaving twit.
