Re: As a CHL pedestrian - at what point do you identify to L

Jbarn, you beat me to it. I was going to ask for the code citations myself. I could not find them in my search of the Transportation Code.

I may agree that traffic Court is, in most cases, a racket. But I do not agree with his definitions.

I do know that, as a general rule, if you are not operating a motor vehicle, you are not required to identify yourself to a peace officer unless you are under arrest. You may not provide a false id in most cases, but you do not have to answer. It is my opinion that the Government Code section cited does require a CHL to produce identification (CHL and license or ID card) on demand, and this is an exception to the general rule.
