Today as I was walking about six blocks from my home, a police cruiser rolled up. The officer said that a woman had called in that a person fitting my description had "been looking into her car." Now, this is without any basis in fact. I looked into no car, except at a street crossing, where I looked in the driver's eyes to assure that I had been seen as I was crossing.

In the course of the exchange, I was asked to produce identification. Which, I did. He also asked me where I was going. I told him. On reflection, I wonder if that is correct policy by the police and what would have happened if I had refused.

The SC has ruled you MUST present I.D. to any cop who requests it. And they don’t have to have a reason.

I say you are wrong. Cite the case. I already cited a SCOTUS case where they stated the opposite.I say again, cite the case.

You were subjected to a Terry Stop, the basis for which was the woman’s report. This has been found by SCOTUS to be constitutional.

When asked for ID by law enforcement, you are required to hand it over, if you have it on you anyways. I don’t remember the particulars, but a man and his daughter were arguing on the man’s property, and refused to produce ID when the cops showed up. It went all the way to the SC where the man lost...JFK

_____________________________________________________

You are not required to produce ID on demand.

The case you incorrectly cite is Hiibel v Nevada wherein the police were responding to a report of a domestic incident and on that basis were empowered to do what is know as a Terry Stop and demand ID.

If there had been no incident report then there would have been no reasonable grounds for the stop and the demand fot ID.

Every notice that most who say they have nothing to hide never post under their own names?

Ever notice how nearly everyone on the net posts under a pseudonym? Is your given name DevNet?
