Yes.
How on earth can a passenger violate this title?
A violation is not stopping (not the passenger's responsibility). Not identifying yourself after you did not stop the driver from driving?...oh-kayee...
Look at it from the LEO's point(which I am not one), you see a passenger drinking an open container , throwing trash/bottle out the window, flicking a lit cigarette out of the car in a high fire area, not wearing a seat belt, or there is 10 pounds of meth in the car , or the car is stolen,etc and the passenger does not want to give his name, because he was not driving....... The LEO has every right to demand ID to issue a citation (arrest with release for promise to appear) for the minor stuff, or investigate further . The passenger can go ahead and refuse to ID himself. That is his choice, the LEO having all the RAS he needs, can then arrest the passenger and bring him to a judge, where the passenger can tell the judge his name or not. If the passenger gets arrested after court hours on Friday, you can bet he will not be seeing a judge until sometime Monday.
Hope it was worth it to the passenger not to ID himself , he will get to meet all sorts of interesting people in county jail that weekend that also were put in the same cage/bedroom. No Thanks, I just think I will give my name, take my ticket for whatever the charge is, skip the weekend in "boys camp" , and tell my story to the judge in my street clothes at some later convenient date and not a county jumpsuit after a weekend of stale jail food and hostile roommates. Sometimes using little common sense prevails. If you are going to do illegal things as a passenger, I guess it is best to have some ID with you to stay out of jail. If Leo's already have RAS to ask you for id, like this law says must occur, a bad attitude will go along way to meeting a new set of friends at the county jail. You have to understand many people don't carry ID, because they have outstanding warrants and are used to giving LEO's false names . Passengers think because they are not driving, they can get away with this. If a LEO already has RAS, you are probably going to get "run in", so I don't see how this hurts the honest citizen who is a passenger and has not violated any law.
