Why should I worry about people who don’t bother to learn them?

It’s yet another exception to the silence rule, but you can be charged with obstruction for failing to answer the questions, which are pretty much name, address, date of birth, etc. I can try to dig up the case for details.

Do you have to give your name to a police officer, or only to a judge?

I’m not claiming that we’re already living in a totalitarian police state today, I’m saying that we’re moving in that direction, and most of us don’t want to keep moving in that direction.

This one says you have to make noise if you want to remain silent.

But the issue is really an ideological majority on the court trying to find ways to whittle down basic substantive and procedural protections against arbitrary police conduct.
