I have a question for those in the know..am I required to give police my name ,address ,and date of birth? Everthing i read says i do ..but i have heard otherwise..whats my rights on this,thank you

Yes on name and address. I'm pretty sure you only have to give your DOB if the situation is age-related, I'm not sure on the exacts of this.

Police don't have a right to demand information on a whim - they have to have a reason before you have to answer. There are heaps of valid reasons in various legislation - if you are driving, suspected of an offence, on a public throughfare potentially a trespasser etc. But always at least question why they want to know.

Usually it's name, address, occupation (not place of work) and date of birth - enough to clearly identify you.

What are they going to do if you don't tell them? Arrest you for what?

There's a charge of 'refusing to give details'.

There's a charge for everything. Including loitering with intent to use a pedestrial crossing, looking foreign, and breaking wind from both ends at once.

You do not have to give police any details unless you are being arrested. If you are arrested, the only things you have to give are your name, address, date of birth and occupation. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut - everything you say can and will be used against you in court.

If you're driving a car - you certainly are required to give our details.

according to the antiterrorist on youtube if stopped walking on a public street by a cop and asked for personal details you have no obligation to provide the details unless you've been witnessed doing something suspicious by the cop or a third-party reporting to the police. to get out of their clutches when they have insufficient cause to arrest or detain what you say when asked for your name, dob, etc., is, "am I obligated to give you that info." repeat the question until he answers. if the cop says "yes" then you have the right to ask what crime it is you are suspected of perpetrating. if the cop says "no" then you ask "am I being detained." again repeat the question until he answers yes or no. if "no" then you say "in that case I am exercising my right to walk away."

I don't know about driving a car but I would question whether or not the rule that applies to giving personal details when 'randomly' stopped by a cop while driving is actually legally enforceable if you don't hold a drivers licence. is the rule actual law or just a rule you agree to when you sign your application for a licence I wonder?

see his 2 part speech on dealing with the police. he doesn't discuss cars I don't think though.

also very interesting and perhaps relevant to the car scenario is his freemen speech which deals with admiralty law - the law of contracts and basically advises not entering into them and in fact freeing yourself from those you've already agreed to. there are 32 licences you need to undertake 32 different activities in society and since they all say "you must hold a licence in order to undertake such-and-such activity" under good faith you can actually become free of their bounds since he asserts that a legal dictionary will tell you "must" means may and is not mandatory. he asserts there are 12 million laws and most apply to contract law.
