Well, you could answer the officer’s questions, or you could stand on principle, refuse to comply and be taken in, then questioned.

I do not claim nefarious. I just wonder how a totally false report enables my rights to be suspended, even in this relatively trivial matter.
“Well, you could answer the officer’s questions, or you could stand on principle, refuse to comply and be taken in, then questioned.”
Yeah those pesky principals, almost like rights and stuff.
