Most states require you to identify yourself when requested to do so by an officer of the law. Hence my original reply ... answer the officer's questions, or stand on principle and be taken in for questioning. As far as any "crime," I'd say suspicion of breaking and entering, given the nature of the call that had the officer out there in the first place.
Since when did looking inside somebody’s car become suspicion of breaking and entering.
Didn’t a guy from Nevada take this all the way to the Supreme Court and lose? I could be wrong, but I think providing ID to law enforcement is the law of the land now, and not just some states. Let me know if I am wrong...JFK
