You have to give your name to the police?
I know it’s wrong to give a false name but to give no name at all is illegal?
Now, driving is different but walking?
I thought you don’t have to tell the police anything.
Is that an Austin law or a Texas law?
If you speak Spanish does the law change?
If you’re arrested or subject to arrest, then you have to identify yourself.
Failure to identify yourself becomes an additional offense.
If you don’t identify yourself at the Book In, then you cannot Book Out and then stay locked up.
If you want to book out then you will eventually identify yourself and then you have to face two charges not just one.
This bimbette would not have been arrested if she had just given her name, and she may not have even received a citation either since only 7 or the 28 stopped received citations.
