This is a problem right now. If i'm driving down the road and get pulled over and i don't haven my driver's license the officer can detain me. Now they probably will ask me some basic questions and if i come off as credible, they will probably let me go. I would hope that most officers would afford people the same treatment. If they think you are suspicious though then your getting locked up until they can prove or disprove your story. Bottom line, carry your ID at all times. There is really no good excuse not to have it.
