I was told that it may lead to easier or faster release, and I imagine I might be targeted to be imprisoned if I push it if I don’t bring an ID, but I feel like that’s bullshit but I don’t think I should leave it to chance

Would you bring an ID to a protest?

(Did I accidentally start a struggle session?)

    Depends on what laws there are to get around and how they are applied. Idk where you are, but that makes a big difference.

    I know that in several EU countries, it’s possible to get let out within 24 hours if not charged and this means that you can scrub your fingerprints off and bring no ID and get let go if they don’t want to bring serious charges. That strategy only works for pretty liberal things though. Doing any action more than standing somewhere makes that untenable.

    If you are going to be held until you have to identify yourself, might as well bring an ID. But if the strategy is to waste as much time and effort as possible, then don’t.

    I guess the question is: what do you want to achieve? depending on the answer to that, local laws, and whether this is an organized or personal effort, you can likely think of a better answer yourself than a Hexbear user can for you
