Sometimes when it comes to the most simple things perhaps it's best to just play the game and return the ball to the other side of the court.
Under threat of arrest, Ortega de Chamberlin finally complied, but was cited for allegedly interfering with or obstructing an officer by giving false information and by refusing to give information.
Ah, the plot thickens via the thickener provided by Ortega.
If I was on my own private property obviously not doing anything and a cop asked me for ID, I might be a little more indignant. I'd be waiting for him to tell me that I look like a suspect from a crime or something. If he told me that I was suspected of nothing at all, I'd push it more. But out in public, I probably have less standing and I'd be a lot more inclined to just give him the ID and go with it. It's a bit obnoxious maybe, but it sure beats a night in jail and/or a fine.
You'll notice that the charge was naught but a CATCHALL, not a specific charge of giving false info. However, it should NEVER be a crime to lie to a cop or a politician. Since lies are their stock-in-trade, turnabout surely IS fair play.
In this case, there is no evidence that she lied to them; only that she REFUSED his obviously unlawful request.
