This is not Nazi Germany. Far from it.
Perhaps the policewoman just wanted to get the names of witnesses.
It is amazing the number of people on want no authority over them at all, but are appalled at the ease with which the 911 terrorist cells operated with impunity in the days prior to that event.
Yes and if she had asked for my name I would have gladly volunteered it.
Perhaps I could have said "My name is Domandred, this is my cell phone number, but since I wasn't driving you don't actually need to verify my Driver's License".
And as jokingly mentioned in the post below yours, yes the officer did run my drivers license through the computer. I watched her do it. She didn't just enter it into the accident report.
Why did the cop assume he was lying about his name?
WOW.
