It depends on what you mean. If you are being questioned by a police officer for some reason, the officer can ask for ID. However, at least in most states, an officer cannot take your ID and keep it under most circumstances.

∙ 13y agoIf you have one ,yes.
You don't if you're not being detained, the only thing you say is am i free to go or am I being detained if you been detained than you have to reveal your name. If you're driving then you have to but if you're just walking and they ask for identification do what I told you to.

∙ 11y agoIt depends on local law, but the bottom line is that while this may not actually be a crime for which you could be arrested, it certainly could be regarded as grounds to detain you, the distinction between the two being rather a fine one.
The bottom line is: whether it's technically an "arrest" or not, you can certainly expect to get a free ride to the police station in the back of a squad car out of it.

∙ 11y agoOnly if they ask you to show an ID.
Unless you are engaged in an activity that requires identification (consuming alcohol, driving a car, etc.), you are not obligated to carry or surrender any identification documents. If asked, you must truthfully state your name. If you give a false name, you can be arrested for giving false information to a police officer (the title of the charge varies from place to place)
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt depends on where you are. Some jurisdictions or municipalities have laws requiring citizens to show ID when stopped, but not all do. In municipalities where it is not required, you can generally refuse, as long as you were not doing anything illegal at the time you were stopped.

∙ 9y agoYes, if a cop asks for ID then you must show it to him. They need to make sure that you are not wanted or have warrants.

A police officer pulled me over I didn't my turn signal is this a valid reason to pull me over?
Not using a turn signal is considered an unsafe lane change or an unsafe turn which both are against the law.
Can a police officer instruct you to turn your car radio down?
yes
If a police officer pulls you over while you have your ristricted licience and you are travellingwould the police make you turn around and go home?
No, you would get arrested for driving on an invalid license and your car would just get towed.
If you are pulled over by police for a ticket and you like the cop can you ask him out?
I suppose you "can", but the police officer is most likely going to turn you down. He may also see it as an attempt to avoid a ticket, which, at least for me, is not a good first impression.
When does a police officer have to turn in a ticket?
Usually at the end of their shift, or daily. It is governed by department rules and guidelines.
Who was the colonial officer that planned to turn over to the British?

How would a juvenile turn themselves in to the police if there is no warrant out for them?
If they wish to 'own up' to an offense that they committed. they could simply go to the local police agency and ask to speak to an officer or detective (or a Youth Service Officer, if the department has one) and simply tell them about it.
Can police arrest themselves?
Of course! and they do when it is necessary! A police officer is subject to the same laws as anyone else, and a few extra laws in many states, and at the federal level, because of their role as a police officer. Since officers are the same as anyone else, the same requirements for arresting a police officer exist as arresting anyone else. For any arrest probable cause and an arrest authority has to exist. This is a simplified answer, but essentially, the answer is the same process, and protections that apply to the public apply to the police officer.
Colonial officer who committed a treasonous act when when he attempted to turn West point over to the British?

How parent can handle a teenager involved in gang activity?
Turn them over to the police.
What color do the turn signals have to be in PA?
I just got pulled over because my turn signals were white. The police officer told me that they have to be an Amber color. He did not give me a ticket or anything, but advised that I go to a Pep Boys or somewhere and buy new lights. So I am going to assume that it is PA law for your turn signals to be Amber.
