I would happily carry an ID card as I have nothing to hide, it is the crooks that in the main worry about having them and the illegal immigrants that we all bleet about 'coup d'etat' where did a minority or coup, push or overthrow, the sudden unconstitutional deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to replace the deposed government with another body; either civil or military. A coup d'état succeeds when the usurpers establish their legitimacy if the attacked government fails to thwart them, by allowing their (strategic, tactical, political) consolidation and then receiving the deposed government's surrender; or the acquiescence of the populace and the non-participant military forces.
