[QUOTE="Mike Hyde, post: 731273, member: 64553"] TJR, in your scenario it sounds like you willing gave your information, so no, the officer had no reason to ask you for proof. As a witness or a complainant, depending on the type or seriousness of the crime you could be required to provide proof. In Righi's situation, the officer had cause to require him to provide identifying information, not necessarily proof or in this case his driver's license. However, if during the course of his investigation the officer had information (we still don't know what the CC employees told the officer about the incident) or developed information indicating Righi was a suspect in an offense, the officer could have compelled proof of identity from Righi. Or, had Righi wanted to file charges at the scene against the CC employees the officer could compel proof of identity. Unfortunately for the officer, with the limited facts Righi's blog provides, it appears the officer may have put himself in a precarious position. Oh, I don't remember if it was you or someone else that mentioned people that don't have a driver's license because they never learned to drive, but all states have an ID card they issue for those that don't have a driver's license but want or need an "official" ID card.
