There was a U.S. Supreme Court case in recent years out of Nevada.....I think it was the Hilber decision.....where the Supreme Court ruled that a citizen does NOT have to show their I.D. to police if they, the police, demand it, absent a crime being committed.

But the court did say that the citizen is required to tell the police his or her name if asked. Anyone familiar with this case?

Close. It was Hiibel. The court said that the suspect has to give his name if the police explain what he is suspected of doing.

Of course they can SAY they suspect you of kidnapping the Lindbergh baby or anything else they choose.
