You have to identify yourself to police, though. After that you should find out if you're free to leave / request a lawyer.

- amarshall 7y agoNot always, and often with limitations on circumstance. It depends on the jurisdiction. Look up Stop & Identify laws for wherever you are. Wikipedia has an overview https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes
- Natsu 7y agoI don't have any warrants, so I'd rather just ID myself if asked than memorize a bunch of odd jurisdictions, figure out which one applies here, and whether the cop could find a way to just arrest me anyway for refusing to answer, whether or not it was against the law.
