I dont think that this is possible, remeber military law has been declared.
I was thinking about the dailiy life of regs and it seems to me that
kenndy's america would be a very conservative and predjudice '50's type
society ie. black civil right movements, single mothers, homosexuals,
prochoice groups etc would all be frowned apon, women would be expected to
get married and stay at home, black people simply wouldnt get good jobs,
fashion would be very dour and modest. America has been nuked by the
devestator and by the russians, people have been living in a dictatorial
state for what 40 years? getting a good job would be a matter of who you
knew in high places rather than how good you are and anyone who didnt fit it
or tow the party line would be shuned and certainly not get that promotion.

As to ID cards I think you need them or some other way of keeping track of
people otherwise being registered isnt realy a problem for somone who pays
in cash and uses a false name. for richer characters plastic surgery, false
passports etc are all possible

the government might not be bashing them but I think to a reg they will all
seem the same, at the end of the day fights between deltas wreck the city
and kill innocents and DP is a ruthless organisation that breaks down your
door in the middle of the night to search for defiants in the basement.
Police and Primers are bound to abuse their powers all the time and they
will be seen as corrupt and authorative rather than kind saviours. Think of
all your tax dollars paying for the luxurious lifstyle of the Primers etc
etc

Also think of the corrupt courts. those judges arnt good and just when it
comes to regs and then corrupt and uncaring when it comes to defiants. If
your  in trouble the size of your wallet will be more important than
evidence
