near the "border" which Ft. Lauderdale is likely in, as the coast is a border.

But we are not required to carry papers either, so what if someone does not have an ID?

Having a DL or State ID would be good enough to prove being legally here for the most part, probably in Florida.

after the REAL ID act, the states had to check immigration documents and have the DL expire when the legal status did.

... but I'm not their type.

If you can't get a job as a real cop, or even as a mall cop (perhaps because you are too racist for even a racist police department) this is where you end up, harassing people who are minding their own business on a bus.
