Please cite said ordinance. :what:The city of Richmond also has an ordinance that requires you to show id to an officer.
How can they do that? What if you are out jogging or walking you dog and don't carry some ID? What are the nutcases going to do about it? Arrest you?? You could give them a bogus name and address since you have no ID. They're nuts.The city of Richmond also has an ordinance that requires you to show id to an officer.
I spent some time on Municode and could find nothing about a stop and Identify law in Richmond.I'm having some trouble finding it online now but if my memory is correct (and this was a few years ago), they passed an ordinance that required someone to produce id if asked by RPD. I'll keep looking for it.

ok, thank you. I'm glad that I wasnt going nuts. I knew that the law existed at some point.They did and then decided it was unenforceable. Then they asked the General Assembly for a mandatory ID law which they didn't get. Every time they get a new Chief, this comes up again.
Richmond has many unenforceable ordnances on the books.

Rosco13Required when operating a motor vehicle or carrying a concealed handgun.
If you bend over or reach for something and someone sees your CCW an LEO can ask for your CHP. I have also heard that police are trained to recognise printing and are much better at spotting a ccw than your average joe. Any LEOs feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, just something I remember reading somewhere.roscoe13 wrote:Rosco13Required when operating a motor vehicle or carrying a concealed handgun.
Not trying to be a pain, but when would a LEO ask for your concealed carry permit? Your gun is concealed so he/she would not even know that you have a weapon. Also I know you have read throughout all these threads that you are not required to have a permit to carry open...am I right?
No, no permit required for open carry.roscoe13 wrote:Rosco13Required when operating a motor vehicle or carrying a concealed handgun.

There is no such statute requiring folks to carry, let alone furnish ID to police, in VA, any of its localities, nor could there lawfully be such a requirement in any state. See Kolender v. Lawson, summary at http://www.oyez.org/cases/1980-1989/1982/1982_81_1320/.Does anyone know what the laws are regarding furnishing ID to the police? When is it a requirement etc?
