Im back again with more questions to you all at the Jref. A video has come come across my newsfeed once again. This time of a man refusing to show his identification to police officers because he claims he was doing "nothing wrong". He is under the impression that it is within his rights to deny his name to police officers, but what I have found seems to imply otherwise.
Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004),
"which held that the name disclosure did not violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures."
This verdict seems to give legal right for the police to ask for ID from any person with reasonable suspicion, and those refusing to do so are subject to arrest.
Now with this video, some might say that Minnesota does not have "stop and identify" laws, which would make the officers in the wrong; which is true, but from my reading they are allowed to do so if they have "reasonable suspicion". Which is where my question comes in. From what I could gather from articles and the video, some shop owners called the police for this man loitering outside their store, they thought he was up to something. Is a phone call to the police of suspicious activity enough for them to warrant "reasonable suspicion"?
On a side note, the man is also walking away from officers while one is trying to speak to him. In my mind, thats a slow moving chase. lol
