Unless he places you under arrest you may refuse. However, he may be asking you to leave because there is some nearby danger which may harm you in which case you would be a fool to refuse his directions.

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 England and wales you do not have to attend, but if there are grounds to suspect you have committed an offence you will probably end up getting arrested if you refuse. If you attend a police station (under arrest or voluntarily) you are entitiled to legal advice. If you are not under arrest you may have to pay for that advice, depending on where your local force policy.

Can you refuse the right to have a picture taken in a public area?

You can refuse if the person asks, but if you are in public and he takes it anyway, there is nothing you can do about it.


If you have not been charged or arrested can police still search your vehicle?

It depends on the circumstances. For instance, if you are pulled over for a minor traffic violation and there is no reasonable suspicion that you have done anything else illegal, you can refuse consent to search. Some police officers will tell you that you can't refuse, but I have done it several times. That said, it may depend on the locality as to how it will play out. Here in my city, if you are polite, you normally won't have a problem. Additionally, an officer can ask you to get out of the car, and can perform a search of your person for weapons, but I have never had that happen. The few times I've refused consent, the officer usually asks why and I simply reply, "Because I know I don't have anything illegal in my vehicle, so there is no reason for you to search it," and that ended it. As a general rule, a police officer can tell the difference between someone who is trying to hide something and someone who is simply reserving his rights.


Can a police officer ask for identification with out cause?

I think you may be asking the wrong question. A police officer can ask you to do anything they want. Its up to you to ask a question back (or conditionally accept) ie.Officer: "Show me some "ID".you: "May I see some Identification?" (they are required to by their own law)Officer: "This car/badge/uniform is identification anough."you: "Are you refusing to Identify yourself?"and so on?http://www.truthandchoice.com


Is it against the law To lie to a police officer about being on felony probation?

As with most police-related questions, it depends on the circumstances. Specific law also varies from state to state. It is not always a crime to lie to the police. If you are providing a sworn written statement and you lie, it is a crime. If you are intentionally providing false information intended to mislead a law enforcement officer in the course of his/her duties, it is a crime. If you falsely report an incident or a crime, that is a crime. If you are stopped for speeding, and the police officer asks if you know how fast you were going, and you lie when you answer, that is not a crime. As a general rule, if the police officer is investigating something and you intentionally lie in order to protect yourself or someone else, or in order to intentionally mislead the officer, you may be guilty of a crime.


If a police officer comes to your door and asks you to step outside can you refuse And if you do refuse can he then forcably pull you outside?

You can refuse, and a law enforcement officer cannot lawfully enter any structure or vehicle without a warrant, probable cause, reasonable suspicion (under certain circumstances), or exigent circumstance (emergencies). However, keep in mind the number of largely innocent people and minor offenders US LEOs have shot and killed with no charges brought. This will continue so long as the American people continue to permit our laws to be subverted. Closing thought: law enforcement officers in the US are more accurately slaves to our laws, all by their own volition, not defacto royalty above those laws. Hold them to the standard they should be held.
