Withholding Identity From a Law Officer: Your Right or Not?

Associated Press ^ | March 23, 2004 | Gina Holland

it remains true that in the context of a legal ruling, "a person who meets condition Y may do X" means "a person who meets condition Y may do X without being legally punished.

Trivial. It does not apply to condition z.

What condition(s) Z did you have in mind?

[Sweet Land]

Right from the Book of Freakin Common Sense

*yawn* The last refuge of those with no real argument.

Revealing your name may render less secure a noncriminal secret. And what if I as a law-abiding citizen simply think it's none of his business what my name is?

WELL!!!

Aren't you all TALKING BIG!

I'm talking like a free man. I can't say I'm surprised that this strikes you as shocking.

I notice that I seem to be the ONLY poster on this forum that uses a REAL NAME!!!

And, since it is so unusual, I would be easy to find!

Gee, that's swell. Too bad it has nothing to do with the debate at hand.

"What condition(s) Z did you have in mind?"

Any.

How is that relevant to the fact that the 7th, 8th, and 11th Circuit Courts have agreed with the 9th that "a person being detained because of an articulable suspicion of criminal activity may refuse to identify himself" without being legally punished?

So, according to Sweet Land, revealing your name has nothing to do with the debate at hand.

I guess I totally missed the piont, I guess, according to Sweet Land, I thought that revealing your name had something to do with this topic, somehow or other!

[RonHolzwarth]

wow, what a thread, over 500 responses, what does it take to make a record in here?

[wallcrawlr]

A tragedy.

No, that's only according to your deceptive editing. My not revealing my name on FR has nothing to do with the debate about being required to reveal one's name in the real world.

But mark my word when I was a Patrol Sup in the USArmy MP Corps (8 years, pal) & told you to move? Trooper you'd best be assholes & elbows or you'd wind up with one of my Privates hanging off each side of you the whole way to what we *affectionately* called, "The Manchu Hilton" so fast you're head would spin.

I reccommend seeing a sex therapist, as you have about the worst case of SDS I've ever seen.

"I reccommend seeing a sex therapist, as you have about the worst case of SDS I've ever seen."

While I recommend you learn how to spell.

...moron.

Here is a SDS screening test for you to take.

That's no way to talk to a fellow soldier, no less one who served in the 10th MP Brigade.

LOL. The SDS I was referring to was Short D!ck Syndrome. For the record, though, I rarely require vaginal lubrication.
