stop and identify statutes...
For those of you who have some legal knowledge, I was discussing what rights police have in regard to asking individuals for identification (this is in the states, by the way). I know that many states have stop and identify statutes which allow an officer to ask for a name/identification if they have reasonable articulable suspicion that criminal endeavors are afoot (i think that's the quote, haha). But, I could've sworn that I read a case about some guy walking in a field in the middle of nowhere (on a railroad track, if I remember right), an officer attempting to get him to stop and identify himself without ANY cause, and a judicial holding that the cop was in the right in doing so.
Does that ring a bell with anyone? Or am I mixing up facts?
