Topic: Do you live in an area where you must "show your papers" to walk down your own street unarrested

Apparently Colorado law does not require you to ID yourself to any authority who asks on a whim, but these police behaved as though they can. Keep in mind that police departments routinely keep records of all interactions, so even if nothing comes of it, your name is now in a database and you are now "known to police".

Technically, you do not have to identify yourself at any time.

it is common though, for jurisdictions to have that authority if you are operating a motor vehicle on the public motorways (though this fellow was on foot)

Unless you have committed a traffic violation, even then, you do not have to identify yourself. They cannot stop you on a whim. If this guy walking down a sidewalk was not commiting a crime, he also does not need to provide identification.

depends on the jurisdiction. in some places, simply operating a motor vehicle on the public motorways is all that is required for having to produce ID on demand.

@1,307,344 (boof)Found this. Looks like it's for all of Colorado, not just certain jurisdictions. So no, unless you performed a traffic violation, you don't have to show id.

Oh, well I saw you had Colorado listed, and figured you were talking about that state by itself.

I dunno, I'd probably just show my ID. You're already on the radar at that point and not anonymous.
Half of my life is spent around people interpreting rules through their own lenses and I don't have time to stop and argue with everyone. Agree then vanish has worked pretty well for me.
