A lot of states have “cease and determine” statutes. These legal guidelines require an individual who’s lawfully detained (not simply casually stopped) to state their title for the police.

So, what the hell is Chuck Schumer doing blocking ID. Is he simply consumed with Trump Derangement Syndrome, the place he should oppose no matter Trump says? Trump says the sky is blue, Schumer says no its crimson. If Trump stated he’ll do one thing tomorrow, Schummer retorts and says tomorrow by no means comes as a result of it’s at all times immediately?
