ID isn't always required if you're driving your own vehicle, your
license plate is scanned and your identification is probably on their
screen already, knowing whether or not you have a printed copy of the ID
on your person isn't useful information.

As far as their primary function being to collect taxes, that may be the
case, but they're not very consistent with it -- I cross the border
several times per year on business and usually at least a couple for
personal reasons, I'm often over the import limits, only once have I
actually had to pay anything.
