I have done some searching on WA laws, but I can't find exactly what I am looking for. By law, what are we required to provide to LEO during a stop?? Assume this is a stop for questioning in a couple different circumstances...
1.When a LEO stops you to ask questions, not detaining you. When you are free to leave (i.e. not being detained), must you provide ANY info to a LEO?
2. Whena LEO stops you and tells you that you are being detained (whether or not he details the RAS). Now that you are being detained (maybe not arrested just yet), does the law require you to provide more information, such as an ID?
3. When a LEO spots you getting into a car, does he then have the lawful means to demand to see your driver's license? This is for the case when no unlawful act has been committed with the motor vehicle. I do understand that, if you were OCing, he now has the ability to demand to see your CPL.
Any help from the knowledgeable folks out there? I want to know exactly when I can simply walk away from a cop, rather than wait for him to run my info and return my ID to me.
Further question...
4. Assume that you were OCing and he just saw you cover your gun. You DO have a CPL. Must you only show the cop the CPL, or must you provide your ID too? This situation is probably the same as getting into a car.
Thanks!
