As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused their demands to show ID without explanation or cause. (files.catbox.moe)

The NYPD is skulking through the L train demanding IDs from Black and Latino men, again with zero justified cause or explanation as to why.

so if I wanna take a stroll in the morning in my gym shorts without my wallet flopping around in my pocket, I am committing a crime?

Yes. In that case they will probably ask you about your info, check in their system, you would get a fine for not carrying your documents, and that's it.
A BIG difference, however, is that they will not even approach you if you are not doing something you should not be doing. In other words, they will not bother you while you're sitting on a bench or taking a stroll.
