>stupidly

If you were doing something they could choose to arrest you for, and you didn't give your name you'd have been arrested.

If you weren't, then you've got nothing to worry about anyway.

>drinking and driving

American here. How the fuck do you have an option NOT to give this information in the UK? Do you even use plates? ID?

>>82830
He means "stopped on the street".

If you're driving, you do need to show them your driving license, insurance and MOT within a week of the stop, which amounts to the same thing.

But in general, unless you're being cautioned or arrested, you don't have to give the police your name or address.

Oh, I understand now. So but by law do you HAVE to have some sort of identification? I'm pretty sure in the U.S. you legally are responsible for carrying id. I'm pretty some people tell the cops to fuck off but I'm guessing if the cops wanted they could arrest someone. It's just about whether you want to risk actually going to jail for not having your id but I would think cops have better shit to do most the time than to go through all that.

Nope, because we don't live in a police state like you guys.

Last government that proposed ID cards got voted out by a landslide.

>In the British model of policing, officers exercise their powers to police with the implicit consent of the public. "Policing by consent" is the phrase used to describe this. It expresses that the legitimacy of policing in the eyes of the public is based upon a general consensus of support that follows from transparency about their powers, their integrity in exercising those powers and their accountability for doing so.

>Despite the questionable legal status of Arizona's immigration laws, there is no place in the nation where simply being in public without ID is illegal.
>However, there are several states in which it is an arrestable offense if you refuse to identify yourself to police. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that these kinds of laws can be legal, as long as the officers had reasonable suspicion to detain you in the first place.
>In states with these laws, like Arizona and Nevada, you may be required to give police your full legal name. But you don't have to answer any other questions, and you shouldn't need any form of identification.

Know your rights, bro.
