Sure, the police have probable cause (like you are pulled over speeding) to detain you, you need to provide ID.

The point I made is that I am climbing out of the surf with my board under my arm and they demand papers.

Please clarify what PROBABLE CAUSE the police have to suspect me of a crime?

I don't carry papers, and as I am not driving, there is no State Code requiring me to. Copies of the Vehicle Papers and my State D/L are in the car for that occasion. Next?

At this point I ask the question: "Am I under arrest?"

If the answer is "Yes", the next question is "What Charge".

If the answer is "No", the next question is, "May I go now?"

If the answer to "May I go now?" is "No", the VERY NEXT QUESTION IS:

"Am I under arrest?"

3 times though that loop establishs to the court that I *am* being detained unlawfully.

Sinergy, couldn't you say something like; "Sure, my I.D. is in my vehicle, Officer" or something like that?
Fargle, I thought that when a police officer asks you to identify yourself you are obligated to?
For all they know you could be a wanted criminal. They don't know who you are.
I've never had a cop approach me and ask for i.d. unless I was speeding or something like that. And on the (very) few occaisions that's happened they were very polite about it.

I'm sure the Police would like that to be so, but no.

THINGS such as Cars, Boats, Real Estate, Slaves *may* need to be registered, but thankfully FREE PEOPLE are still FREE, and don't need papers to prove it.

Tough shit. Wait until I commit a crime, arrest me, and then run my prints. Other than that?

"I have appointments to keep, Am I under arrest?"
"May I go now?"
"Am I under arrest?"
"May I go now?"
"Am I under arrest?"
"May I go now?"

Me either, there is a great deal of "Hypothetical" about this. IF a Cop wants to be an asshole, they'll just sucker-punch you, or jack you from behind.

I have never been asked to produce identification, I find it rather disturbing and odd that a cop can just randomly pick a person out on a beach and demand they show them who they are... I suppose Sinergy could have been raping a dolphin or something, but it seems highly improbable that there was much of a crime he could have committed on his surfboard in the ocean. And no, you do not leave your identification lying around on a beach.




farglebargle -> RE: Locking Up the Huddled Masses (2/25/2007 7:08:58 PM)

Perhaps nowadays, the correct response is:

"Given the rise in Identity Theft, personal identifying information can only be provided with a triplicate written request, sent to this P.O. Box."

I shred anything even remotely helpful to people that steal identities. And I would not take my ID to a beach and leave it there... the most I would leave is things I did not care about being taken.

We'll for all we know they could have had an armed robbery, with a suspect that fits your discription and was wearing similar surf wear and  that is their probable cause. Hello since the so called patriot act the title of land of the free is a joke. The ATF had no probable cause to raid my house and take my guns and inconvience me for a whole year but they did anyway.

And about that lil example I gave, the DL ect wasn't really the main focus it was a lighthearted way of pointing out we do indeed carry papers. Just try to get a job w/o a ss #, of course you could do what alot of illegals do and just buy some innocent american citizens that has been a victum of identity theft.........

In every state I have lived, that is the case, if you can't show proof of who you are and they have reason (even unfounded, delusional reason) to catagorize you as "suspicious" they haul you in till you can prove to them who you are and what your business is. I have no idea if it's legal and right for them to do so, I just know I can't afford the time and money it would cost to not cooperate, so I do.

I suspect that is what the police would have you believe. There is however no law in the State of New York requiring such a thing. Now, if you can provide me a citation in New York Law, I'd love to see it, but I did a brief survey, and aside from VINs, and Identity Theft, etc, there's nothing there.

Sure. If you disobey a police officer, you can be shot dead. It's generally wiser to just go the path of least resistance when confronted with thugs, assuming you're not suitably armed. And even then, justified defense against a police officer is generally a real bitch to prove, too.

The post office will not sign for packages.

The UPS store will.

The only address I ever give anybody, including my driver's license and the IRS, is my legal address at a UPS store 30 miles away from where I hang my hat.

I am not in the habit of bringing strangers home.

I am no lawyer but I have been detained for 2 hours on the lower level of the GWB while my friends car was "searched" and the guys in the car were searched too, all because we took a wrong turn and got lost in Harlem.

Or what happened to a past co worker of mine. http://www.sussexcountyjustice.com/home.html

Fargle, N.Y. is a messed-up state anyway.
Wearn't they searching people's packages, breifcases and backpacks on the subway in NYC last year?
And you can't carry a gun in NYC at all. (Unless you're a criminal!)

Actually it depends on the state. Some states do have laws requiring that you identify yourself to a police officer when they ask and the Supreme Court has upheld these laws as constitutional.

The states that dont, the police would have the right to detain or arrest you until they could determine your identity if they believe that you are "suspicious" or have "probable cause". If they cannot prove that you are, then you dont have to. However, I have a feeling that if you were or werent would be something that would be fought in court after the fact since I doubt a police man would ask you and then admit you werent acting suspiciously.

"All nine Justices agreed that a person who is not behaving in a way that gives rise to an articulable suspicion of criminality may not be required to state his name or show identification. All nine Justices also agreed that under the Court's prior precedents, the police could ask a person who has been subject to a Terry (suspicious person) stop for his name.

Remember, "You have the right to remain silent".

If you actually DO remain silent however, you'll probably get the shit beaten out of you.

charging us three bucks a gallon for gas




Come and live in the UK, where we pay $6.50 for petrol...


One of the best things I like about the collarme boards is my opportunity to read various opinions from our friends in the UK and elsewhere in the world. 

However.... I've seen more than a few of you from the UK make an erroneous comparison to what we pay in the states for petrol vs. what you folks in the UK pay for it.

The erroneous part is in that you have a value-added tax system where the citizenry is taxed through the sale of goods and services to pay for its social programs. We have a system that encompasses direct taxation through the taxing of ones production. So while it looks like the good folks in the UK are paying two to three times the price for petrol, you're not.  

Now... if you wanna make the argument that the average citizen through out Canada, the UK and the EU pays a higher percentage of taxes per dollar earned…..I’ll agree with you [;)]

Ranger, those kids do belong in school, in Mexico, not in the U.S.

And you're right about gas (Petrol) prices in England and Ireland.
Most of it's tax to pay for all those cradle to grave social programs that they have there.
