They killed our blow up rolly-polly reindeer by gutting it with a knife. All and all, it was not a lot of money involved, but I wanted the police to know so that they can be aware of any patterns that may be forming. So I called them and they sent a unit over.

In the course of the conversation in my front yard, the officer asked me for my name, DOB, and phone number which I provided. He did not, however, ask to see any ID nor ask if I was armed. So I did not show ID or CHL nor did I offer up that I was armed. But it occurred to me that by asking for my name, he was in a sense, asking for a form of identification. But my thinking is that the law is specific to asking for printed identification as opposed to any sort of verbal exchange of ID.

Would you all agree that this is correct? It just caught me by surprise a little as I was prepared for him to ask me for my ID but didn't anticipate this exchange.
