What citation are you asking for, one that says a citizen isn't required to show identification?Cites, please.
Where do I find the forum for "sterile carry"?It should be noted that while choosing to exercise this right (or any other for that matter) it is wise to determine if you have been asked or COMMANDED to do something. I will always refuse so long as they are asking. If they are commanding, I will comply...always. It's best, as Ecocks mentioned before, to not make scenes and attract negative attention. If at any point the officer gives a command to show your I.D. you shouldn't hesitate or try to argue your rights. This is best left for the courts if you really feel you've been violated that badly.
When you get a chance, research the forum for "sterile carry". This is how I usually O.C. and showing I.D. becomes a moot point if I have none on me.
The cite I would like is what does Idaho law say about the power of a police officer to require (request) identification. My time has been limited but I have not yet found anything in Idaho law authorizing police to request or require identification.Citizen wrote:What citation are you asking for, one that says a citizen isn't required to show identification?Cites, please.
How does one cite to a law that does not exist? Any citation would pretty much have to be to a law that requires a citizen to identify themselves, wouldn't it?

Cite, please. What is the statute or ordinance that requires an Idahoan to provide ID to a cop upon demand?SNIP ...If there are reports raising questions as to your behavior orstatements which do provide the officers with cause to investigate, then you can be required to show your ID...
