That's not really the point, is it. You could give them a student ID or something they don't have easy database access to and that could still happen. You could give them a valid passport and they'd still detain you for hours until they could get the kickback from the state department.
Your CA cop friend didn't say it was illegal not to carry ID.
All this goes back to the Arizona law that says you have to provide documentation of legal residency or risk arrest. You could very well have valid ID but no documentation of residency and you could still be arrested.
Even Karl Rove thinks this law is a bad idea. Or I guess some people think Rove is a good example of a bleeding heart liberal.
