If he have reason to suspect criminal activity.. This is a touchy subject because it could also be construed as discrimination!

why do so many people answer questions when they have no idea what they are talking about?


Ipsydoodle
Yes

He's allowed to *ask* what color your underwear is. If we're only asking, you're always free to refuse.

I see Combatcop above me would disagree with that, but I can't help wonder if that's state law or department policy. Certainly could be a state law, but that would be very odd in my opinion.

Is he allowed to ask? Of course. He can ask everyone's favorite color, and what they all thought of last night's ball game, too.
Do your passengers have to comply? No.
Should they? Absolutely.


diva
sure is

You are probably in the states but in the UK if a police officer/constable asks for your details and you refuse its an arrestable offence.

He is allowed to ask for everyone's ID, yes.

However, depending on what state you're in and where you're driving, non-drivers might not be required to show ID. (Ohio you're only required to show ID if on the premises of an airport, bus terminal, train station, ordering from the bar in a liquor-serving establishment, and possibly when on government property.)


J S
Of course he can


purple_amanecer
Yes he does have the right.


gary f
yes but thats all they can do without probable cause so dont let em bully you and dont volenteer ANYTHING else.


Combatcop
Not everywhere. In WA, an officer needs to have reasonable suspicion that the passenger(s) are committing some sort of infraction or other violation of the law. If they have done nothing wrong, I cannot ask for their id, question or otherwise speak with them if it involves any kind of investigation.


James Dean
Sure they can, what if somoene has a warrant?

Unfortunately yes .. Especially if there is blood dripping from the trunk. That always raises suspicion.


rob
no only if the cops think u are a suspects of something

Be sure to ask for the police officers license and registration and badge number. He is there to protect and to serve. Remind him of that.
