On another note I was Curious on the Ohio laws of Self Identifying, for the sake of being stopped while legally open carrying. In Ohio is this one of the states that you have to give personal information?>?? And the video/audio surveillance of police interactions?
I was Curious on the Ohio laws of Self Identifying, for the sake of being stopped while legally open carrying. In Ohio is this one of the states that you have to give personal information? My interpretation is you do not without them(police) having resonably suspicion or probable cause that u have or wil commit a crime>? Is this correct? And the video/audio surveillance of police interactions?
here is what ive found on both
Was wondering if you could interpret your opinion for me...
For Self Identify if stopped:
ORC
2921.29 Failure to disclose personal information.
(A) No person who is in a public place shall refuse to disclose the person’s name,
address, or date of birth, when requested by a law enforcement officer who reasonably
suspects either of the following:
(1) The person is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a criminal offense.
(2) The person witnessed any of the following:
(a) An offense of violence that would constitute a felony under the laws of this state;
(b) A felony offense that causes or results in, or creates a substantial risk of, serious
physical harm to another person or to property;
(c) Any attempt or conspiracy to commit, or complicity in committing, any offense
identified in division (A)(2)(a) or (b) of this section;
(d) Any conduct reasonably indicating that any offense identified in division
(A)(2)(a) or (b) of this section or any attempt, conspiracy, or complicity described
in division (A)(2)(c) of this section has been, is being, or is about to be committed.
(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of failure to disclose one’s personal
information, a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
(C) Nothing in this section requires a person to answer any questions beyond that
person’s name, address, or date of birth. Nothing in this section authorizes a law
enforcement officer to arrest a person for not providing any information beyond that
person’s name, or date of birth or for refusing to describe the offense
observed.
(D) It is not a violation of this section to refuse to answer a question that would reveal
a person’s age or date of birth if age is an element of the crime that the person
is suspected of committing.

For Audio Video Recording Police Encounters
RECORDING POLICE ENCOUNTERS IN OHIO:
the law is clear in Ohio: It is perfectly legal to record the police,
as long as you don't "physically" interfere with them.
You may be unfairly harassed, illegally questioned, or even falsely arrested,
but it is highly unlikely you will be charged, much less convicted for any recording
to protect your civil rights, Under the First Ammendment which supersedes ALL State
and Local laws, You have the freedom of speech\press and recording encounters
generally helps all people involved (police' and citizens') in check...
