Nice to see another one holding the views that it is only a 1 way street.

What applies to us peons doesn't apply to the guards.

There is no federal requirement.


But yes, of the several states that have stop and identify laws, 4 of them require physical ID. LA is one.



Its not saying you are legally required to carry ID.


It is saying that if a cop thinks you are guilty of a crime...can he ask for you identity. And can be obligated to offer some kind of proof in those states.

If you can't, the officer has the option to arrest you.

Arrest you because you don't have an ID?

That mother fricker came out of the window though didn't he. You don't disrespect a man that can punish you by law.

I think the word you're looking for is detained, not arrested.

Actually, the word I am looking for is arrested.


Because if you refuse, it is an resisting an officer charge.

As in, the same as striking an officier.


I'm not saying it isn't stupid, I am just saying what they can do according to actual law.


So again, why is someone from Ohio speaking so certainly about a state's laws a thousand miles away?

quote:

§108. Resisting an officer

A. Resisting an officer is the intentional interference with, opposition or resistance to, or obstruction of an individual acting in his official capacity and authorized by law to make a lawful arrest, lawful detention, or seizure of property or to serve any lawful process or court order when the offender knows or has reason to know that the person arresting, detaining, seizing property, or serving process is acting in his official capacity.

B.(1) The phrase "obstruction of" as used herein shall, in addition to its common meaning, signification, and connotation mean the following:

(a) Flight by one sought to be arrested before the arresting officer can restrain him and after notice is given that he is under arrest.

(b) Any violence toward or any resistance or opposition to the arresting officer after the arrested party is actually placed under arrest and before he is incarcerated in jail.

(c) Refusal by the arrested or detained party to give his name and make his identity known to the arresting or detaining officer or providing false information regarding the identity of such party to the officer.

(d) Congregation with others on a public street and refusal to move on when ordered by the officer.

(2) The word "officer" as used herein means any peace officer, as defined in R.S. 40:2402, and includes deputy sheriffs, municipal police officers, probation and parole officers, city marshals and deputies, and wildlife enforcement agents.

C. Whoever commits the crime of resisting an officer shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or be imprisoned for not more than six months, or both.


I was just going by the statute in the State of Louisiana.

Okayyyy.


That doesn't argue with anything that I said.

An officer may be willing to just take you at your word.


But he wouldn't be stepping outside of the law asking for further verification.

It is a slightly grayer area since they say you must identify but you certainly can't be arrested just because you can't provide an ID, that's ridiculous.

You didn't mean to say it was law to show physical identification or face arrest even though you just said so explicitly. Hahaha.

Well true.


There is a cascade of events that must occur to get to that point.


But getting back to the original point: Its gray enough that if you are asked to provide ID....you can't really say "You can't ask me that" in these states. Its easier to just give him the damn ID rather than being an a-hole over such a minor thing that you might actually be in the wrong standing over anyway.

When someone says ID, they mean a government or institution issued one.


That was what I said was not required to carry.

But you can offer proof of your claim that isn't ID.

A credit card, a vehicle registration, etc etc etc.


See the difference?

It's not really a gray area at all, you don't need to provide a physical ID at all just identifying information aka name, DOB and address.

It's also easier to just let the police trample over your rights in other areas as well, but that doesn't mean I have to allow them to do it to me.

I don't think you understand the law in your own state. You MUST provide identifying information when requested. Failure to do so is resisting arrest.

Identifying information doesn't include a physical ID.

You do realize there is actually legal precedent of just that


Lots of times.


And the couple of times where it went to the Supreme Court, they sidestepped actually saying it can't be enforced that way

When opponents can cites the same case law for opposite new points, it is the very soul of "grey area."
