He said on the tape "Am I parked illegally? I'm not parked illegally." Several other times during the tape he spoke similar words, and never did he say he wasn't the driver.

Based on those statements, the officer could reasonably believe, as I did, that Mr. Hiibel was the operator, and the officer could rightfully ask him for a license.

Don't get me wrong, the officer did not ask him for a license, he asked Mr. Hiibel to ID himself and gave no legal justification for doing so. The officer did not ask the right questions, and Mr. Hiibel was within his rights to refuse.

I haven't seen the whole tape yet. But, I have read enough about the case to know that the original complaint the officer received identified the truck as being driven by a female. And his daughter was still behind the wheel when the officer pulled up.
