Not beyond providing identifying information. Remember that not answering questions may lead to longer contact and further investigation.
Also remember that as long as you are free to leave, anything you say is probably admissible.

Another View: If you ARE under arrest then the above advice could be appropriate. HOWEVER, the question does indicate whether the questioner is under arrest, or simply being conversed with on the street, in school, or during a traffic stop. During a 'casual' non-custodial encounter with the police, where you are NOT under arrest, refusing to answer or maintaining a strict and non-responsive silence will only have the effect of raising the officers REASONABLE SUSPICION that perhaps you possibly MAY be involved in something they are investigating.
It is your choice to talk or not talk but, remember, you may have to live with whatever consequences you choose to bring upon yoyurself.

What is it called when a police officer askes a minor questions without a parents attendance?
I don't know what or if there is a term regarding this but I do know that the minor doesn't have to answer any of the questions the police officer asks. You have the right to remain silent even if the police officer has authority. It's not a law that you must answer all questions the police officer asks you.

In Reform, and most Conservative beliefs, women can make up a minyan. They reject the idea that a minyan must be composed of participants who are obligated by law to pray.
