Only part I don't understand. It isn't a crime to not state your name. I the rest I don't understand what he is saying?
Failure to present ID to the police is a crime here. The penalty is a fine, which they can't serve you if you don't give them ID.
Hmm where here , because I been told we as Americans do not have to carry ID. You do have to have a license to operate a motor vehicle, but if I am out on a walk I legally do not have to carry id.
I just looked it up to make sure and my state actually doesn't, but other states do.
I see well I am from Texas and reside in Oklahoma neither state allows officers to force you to show id. Why I was confused.
Thanks, TIL. On Lemmy!
You don't have to carry ID, but you do have to identify yourself if a police officer has reasonable cause to stop you.
Been told we also don't have to talk to police. Only thing I would say to a police is:
Which is my name and I will tell them I am remaining silent and want a lawyer.
Sounds like a good way to get arrested. You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
That one of the charges was a suspended license was mentioned in there. My guess is either he did something stupid and the cop ran his plates, or he was driving without plates.
I'm guessing he wasn't arrested for not stating his name, unless the way he didn't say his name was something like, "my name is 'fuck you, pig.'"
I guess the mini bike was actual motorcycle and yes you do have to a licensed to drive one. I guess these guys are so incoherent that no wonder judges throw the book at them.
If the cop has probable cause to detain you, you have to identify yourself. I believe that applies to all states.
He says it only was that, but he probably started going with his sovcit rambling..
