Lawyer Talk: Off the Record

They Don't Teach You That in Law School - When Police Ask for ID: Know Your Rights


Listen Later

Ever wondered what happens when the police ask for your identification, and you refuse? In this episode, Steve Palmer dives into a real-life case that explores this very issue. Joined by Troy, a second-year law student at Capital University, Steve breaks down the legal intricacies of a bench trial involving a woman who was charged with obstruction of justice for not providing her full identification to the police.

Steve and Troy discuss the difference between civil and criminal matters, the significance of reasonable suspicion, and the overarching constitutional rights that protect you from unlawful demands for identification. They also touch on the practical side of dealing with police encounters and why sometimes it's better to comply to avoid unnecessary legal battles.

Get ready to learn about the nuances of stop-and-identify laws, the implications of Giuliani-era policies, and how these legal principles play out in real-world scenarios.
