In most states two cops come up to the car, they both take a quick look.. the first guy asks for your info while the 2nd inspects the situation. Often starting a conversation with the other person in the car... this way both people are talking, then they can both return to the car and exchange what you each said.. Where are you going, doing, who are the other friends in the car, etc.

As a rule, if I'm not going to be driving I leave my wallet (and ID) at home. So, if a cop asked me (as a passenger) for ID and I said, "I don't have it, I'm not driving." that would be the end of it. If a Hispanic does the same thing now (in AZ), he will be detained until he can prove his citizenship. That would never happen to me (a white man with the typical Ryan Seacrest haircut) unless I was waving a bag of coke around in front of them.
