Why? Do you mean they don't need a state law stating they can require
showing the certificate?

It's already a federal law, no state law necessary.

It's only an administrative regulation -- stating "upon request," implying the
request has to be lawful under state law. Tell the cop, "I don't have one to
show you." Absent state law (all have such a law), then the cop can't do
anything to prevent you from operating an aircraft.

Perhaps true (I doubt it), but that action would still put you in direct
violation of 61.3 (I) and could cost you your license if the Feds got wind of
it.
