bull crap lone star....Apparently he's not as stupid as you. There was no probable cause to even ask him a question; some of us more intelligent folk take the 4th Amendment seriously.
Right. If the police were suspecting anything, they were to inform him. That is law. Without suspicion (aka, probable cause), no search or seizure. It's called the 4th amendment to the US Constitution, as you mentioned.
I do wish that Conservatives would actually read that great document now and again.
The cops weren't suspecting shit, they caught the man violating the seat belt law. All he had to do was show ID get his ticket and be on his way. Damn you people are stupid.
an ID IS NOT REQUIRED when you are a passenger in the car or walking on the street....ALL the cop could demand IS HIS NAME, via his voice.
When did you go through the police academy?
Ill. Comp. Stat., ch. 725, §5/107-14
It happened in Indiana.
Indiana Code 34-28-5-3.5 makes the refusal to identify yourself a minor crime (a class C misdemeanor)
