I have viewed the tape, and I believe that since Mr Hiibel freely admitted to parking the truck where it was, and that parking spot was on the shoulder of a public right of way, the police officer should have been justified in asking Mr Hiibel to provide an operators license.

However, the officer asked for ID, and said it was only "to investigate and investigation". That is not the same as proving one is licensed to drive.

Now if Mr. Hiibel, or any American citizen, is not operating a vehicle, and is not trying to enter any space that is limited for security, then no police officer should have the right to ask you to identify yourself.

The cop was way too full of himself.
