Less Than Probable Cause: Supreme Court Case
Some old cowboy here in Nevada has a case going in front of the supreme court because he was arrested for not showing identification when the police responded to a domestic violence call.
He was just parked on the side of the road speaking to his daughter and when the officer asked for ID he refused...so the office arrested him on some bullshit charge of something like "delaying a peach officer."
Anyway, this is something that I've often wondered about since I was 15 when sitting outside my highschool a cop pulled someone over in front of us.
Some of the kids started harassing the officer and he demanded ID from us. I didn't have id at that time because I didn't try and the guy gave me a tongue lashing.
Do you feel it is a violation of your rights to have to show identification when you have done nothing wrong?
