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.
