Return to “As a CHL pedestrian - at what point do you identify to LEO”
That didn't get him to confess?gigag04 wrote:Reminds of the time I followed a known crack dealer around on foot after he denied a consent search. He kept telling me to leave him alone but he didn't go anywhere he had control. He just walked up and down the street, where I had every right to be. I kept talking to him about baseball and global warming...it was great fun.
JBarn did say he was working "graveyard". Pedestrians probably "stand out" a bit more during the wee hours.Abraham wrote:Jbarn said "contact", I'll take him at his word.
This thread has been educational.
Because so few of us are pedestrians (except downtown) I lost sight of the fact they even much exist anymore. They do and apparently get stopped for a variety of reasons by LEO's.
Remember the recent arrest in Austin? It could end up like this.Abraham wrote:This is an interesting question.
Has anyone as a pedestrian (on the forum) ever been stopped by an LEO and been asked for an I.D. when carrying (or not for that matter) and if so, what transpired?
For the record, it's NEVER happened to me.
I'm going to guess it's a quite rare happenstance...unless you spend time as a public drunk or something akin to it.

When the LEO asks for identification.MaxBerlin wrote:It's pretty clear that when an LEO approaches your vehicle in a traffic stop that you produce your CHL when asked for drivers license or ID.
What about when you're walking around in any public space that you have a right to be in ?
Thanks in advance.
