Aren't you required to present ID when asked? In Colorado you are I thought.

Um, no.

CRS 42-2-115

(1) No person who has been issued a driver's or minor driver's license or an instruction permit or an identification card as defined in section 42-2-301 (2), who operates a motor vehicle in this state, and who has such license, permit, or identification card in such person's immediate possession shall refuse to remove such license, permit, or identification card from any billfold, purse, cover, or other container and to hand the same to any peace officer who has requested such person to do so if such peace officer reasonably suspects that such person is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a violation of article 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 of this title.

bolded for emphasis.

And actually, the first part excludes people who A) Don't have ID
or even B) don't have one in their possession.

You are not required to maintain, or carry an ID card unless your are operating a motor vehicle.

Know your rights guys, the laws are right there online for you to see.

[Irving]

The problem is, when the police approach you, they don't tell you WHY they are approaching you. They don't say, "Hey we got a call out on a guy and you match his description."

Only thing i have found is that: if you are being detained or under the suspicion of a crime, or crimes, or in the possesion of a vehicle being detained for a violation of state vehicular laws, or a person of interest in a crime or crimes, or other offense that requires you to be detained.


Then I guess No you don't have to produce ID

I do know that if you are stopped in a traffic offense you do not have to submit to a car/auto search without a warrant.

I posted the only statute that provides them with the authority to ask for ID on the previous page.

[Irving]

So I'd say that YES, you are required. How can you argue with what someone suspects? Especially when that person is a police officer.

[ronaldrwl]

I'm ok with these officers. they were calm and knowbody got hurt. I was told you have to show ID

[Mtn.man]

I know you do for a CCW but not sure about OC.
