right, good point. They declared that a law specifying that one had to
answer an officer's identity question(s) wasn't unconstitutional. A few
years back CA had a law stating one had to give 'credible evidence' of one's
identity if stopped (such as showing a driver license) but that was struck
down by the Sup. Ct.
The US Supreme Court specially did not say that a law someone to provide
documentation of identity would be allowed, so I assume that that
precedent
is still valid.
I take it then that California didn't try another type of law like that...??
Would that be in the penal code I assume? Not the gov't code?
If you have access to Sheppard, try "vagrancy". I don't know which code
it would be under.
