What right do police have to ask random people to ID themselves in America?
- buckle8017 1y agoSome states have stop and identify laws. These are unquestionably unconstitutional but that's never fixed because the DA will never pursue charges. Without charges nobody can force the issue because nobody has standing.
- kylehotchkiss 1y agoAhh I’ve seen bodycam videos from these stop and ID states where the suspect refusing to identify becomes an additional charge. Didn’t realize that CA wasn’t one (but TIL!)
- khuey 1y agoCalifornia did have one but it was struct down by the Supreme Court in Kolender v. Lawson.
- anonym29 1y agoThe same right random, unidentified deadbeats ought to have to hoist their unpaid medical bills on the rest of civilized society.
- voidUpdate 1y agoImagine that... other people paying for your medical bills through things like taxes. What a terrible thing that would be!
