Supreme Court upholds police right to ask names in detentions
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, held that people may be arrested for refusing to reveal their names to police during detentions, even without proof of wrongdoing. The decision aligns with laws in at least 21 states, drawing sharp privacy concerns from advocates while law enforcement calls it routine detective work. Dudley Hubel of Nevada was jailed after refusing to provide his name, a case cited in the decision as central to the privacy debate.
