post 9/11 you must provide identification if requested......... there was a law passed (not sure exactly what it is called) that allows the law to hold you until they can prove your identity if you refuse to provide a proper for of identification
nothing specific, I was just looking at the video "why you should STFU after self defense" and got curiousDon't know what you are trying to avoid, but if you are that worried you might just go ahead and retain an attorney now.

My first questions to you are...If a police officer wants to question me in a public area (school, my house, grocery store, etc.) and is not arresting me, can I still refuse to speak to him without an attoroney?
Am I ever required to answer a cops questions?
Do I have to give him my drivers license (or other ID) if I am not driving?
How long can I be held at a precinct before they have to charge me with a crime or let me go?
I would appreciate it if you cite your sources as well.
Thanks in advance!
They most certainly can search your car if they have a reason to, like seeing something illegal. You should really ask a lawyer in Florida. Each state is different to an extent. Even within a state different prosecutor's will varry as to what they will file charges on.you have to show ID. , they can look in your car thru the windows ect. there just sizing you up with questions. they cant search your car without consent, but they will try. There just doing their jobs, some are better at it than others.
1) NEVER answer questions by the police without an attorney present. NEVER means NEVER. Not RARELY or HARDLY EVER, but NEVER. Consider the Miranda warning: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you in a court of law..."If a police officer wants to question me in a public area (school, my house, grocery store, etc.) and is not arresting me, can I still refuse to speak to him without an attoroney?

Yup, anything in plain view affords no reasonable expectation of privacy.They most certainly can search your car if they have a reason to, like seeing something illegal.

Welcome to the Gulag, son. You just got your first whiff of a soviet-era interrogation style. If you don't believe me, read the Gulag Archipelago.I think its sad that I ask about my rights and you assume Im a gangbanger.
