my brother was lock up the other day. The police pull my mom over for a out tag light. My mom was arrested for no license. The office ask my brother his name.. my brother felt that he didn't do anything for the officer to ask his name. i mean he didn't. so they arrested him. Why i s it that policmens can have such rights that are so wrong. I mean what diifrent do it make if a total stranger asks for you name then a police office asking?

Your brother was legally required to provide this information to the police.
He was stupid and got thrown in jail. Hopefully he will learn something from this.

Your brother was wrong. You are required by law to identify yourself to an officer. Coupled with the fact that your mother was breaking the law, the police had reasonable suspicion something more serious was going on.
Why wouldn't he give his name? Wouldn't he give his name to thousands of other people who just ask him for it? Like a hotel, a car rental company, a person he meets in a bar? He needs to wake up and smell the coffee - if you behave in a suspicious way, expect the police to be suspicious!

Becuase the police were conducting an investingation. Your brother copped an attitude, and probably got a discon charge. Tell him next time to be cooperative and give his information when asked. Unless he had warrants....then he's going either way.
