WHAT TO DO...WHEN STOPPED BY
THE POLICE
IT COULD HAPPEN
TO YOU...What is your name? Where do you live? Do you have
any identification?
These are simple questions that under
certain circumstances police officers have the right and
sometimes the obligation to ask. They can be answered
easily by almost everyone. However, when a police officer
asks these questions, it could cause problems for the
police officer and YOU. Most of the time there is a reason
why the officer is asking you such questions even though
it may seem to you at the time that there isn't a reason.
The officer may be investigating a
complaint phoned into the police by someone in the
neighborhood. The officer may have been informed by the
police radio that a crime has just been committed in the
area. For one reason or another, you may be the person he
or she suspects may be involved. You may have
knowledge that will help the officer in the investigation,
or the officer may think you are in need of assistance or
help.
The officer has a responsibility and an
obligation to obtain pertinent information to resolve any
calls or incidents that he or she is involved in. Part of
the investigation process is to ask questions that are
relevant to the information the officer has received
regarding the assignment. If you overreact to the
officer's questions, you may create an even more serious
situation.
