What�s in a Name? The Supreme Court Will Decide
The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case brought as a result of Larry Hiibel�s refusal to provide his name upon the request of a law enforcement officer nearly 4 years ago. Mr. Hiibel, a Rancher in rural Nevada was not driving, but standing outside of a pickup truck, when approached by the policeman. The case will provide an opportunity for the Court to determine whether law enforcement officials can demand the identity of individuals whenever they deem it necessary.
