Ruling Stirs Iowa Debate Over Police Names Demand
Linn County Sheriff Don Zeller calls Monday’s ruling common sense and warns it could spark defiance and chaos if citizens can refuse to give their names to police. Charles Nadler says it marks a fundamental shift away from the British system toward a French inquisitorial approach. The ruling says naming police does not violate the Fourth Amendment and only rarely implicates the Fifth Amendment. Anne Lahey hopes it reduces problems from incorrect names at arrest and aids law enforcement while preserving rights.
