[QUOTE="MLR, post: 1749921, member: 2176"] Some of those I talk to think that the change would be a good idea. A minority of them have said they like it the way it is. That asking for an ID tends to make people more on guard and careful in what they say around cops thereby making gathering information from unsuspecting persons. I agree with the latter that it would make fishing expeditions more difficult. I also believe that citizens should not be placed in a situation where a LEO who disguising his interrogation as a casual chat could lead to charges against a person for not notifying. Remember, when you honestly believe that the LEO you met is just striking up a casual how is the weather conversation he may actually be trying to determine by your mannerisms if you are under the influence. He may suspect you are the person just reported to have mugged an old lady and is feeling you out. In these cases the officer will not show his hand by announcing that this is indeed a detainment until he gets the information he is after or you forcing him to by asking if you are being detained. Should a person have to ask every LEO he meets on the street if he is being detained? I would never have made many of the friends I have now in that occupation if I had started the conversations out with that question. Michael [/QUOTE]
