Florida law allows police to demand identification if they believe you are loitering.

So say you are walking on the sidewalk and a cop demands to see your identification - if you ignore him he can say he thought you were "loitering," "resisting arrest" (by ignoring him), he "feared for his life" because you walked by without genuflecting toward him, which gives this dumb cop carte blanche authority to do whatever he wants to you ... wow!

Apparently they can also give you a rectal probe, because you might have drugs up there.

There was a U.S. Supreme Court case in recent years out of Nevada.....I think it was the Hilber decision.....where the Supreme Court ruled that a citizen does NOT have to show their I.D. to police if they, the police, demand it, absent a crime being committed.

But the court did say that the citizen is required to tell the police his or her name if asked. Anyone familiar with this case?
