Drivers license please...

I agree, I am sure if the passengers wanted to push the issue, the LEO would have been fine with name and phone number.

The ID just makes filling out the report easy. He has all the info right in front of him when he is back in his car sitting and writing.

And correct, I suspect, in the case of someone thinking about lying about who they are.

However, my point was that if one of the passengers would have made a federal case out of handing over ID, I am sure the officer would have just took a name and number and moved on. Who honestly has any time for that back and forth over a fender bender?

The passenger in the other car asked the officer "why", & he asked "do you even have a DL"....

Citizens have the right to ask for a super to make sure everything is going as it should especially when the officer is asking for extra information from the passengers. It isn't about policy its about the rights of the citizen.

Please show me where the "right to call a police supervisor" is enshrined. I'm not able to find that documented anywhere.

I'm betting you didn't actually mean 'right,' even though you think you did.

I imagine he asked for DLs because he didn't want to say: "driver - may I see your driver's license. Passenger - may I see some form of ID please?"

He's just making life simple for himself.

And as a CHL holder, when asked for ID, we have to show CHL too. I would be willing to bet a judge would rule that if an officer asked for a "DL", and you were passenger, and didn't show CHL, you would be in some trouble.

No, the penalty for this was removed.

Penalty was removed and it was admin penalty on 1st offense, not arrestable or criminal, so no judge.

Ah yes that's right..

They have the right to ask for whatever they want. Whether or not it's sensical or they'll get it is another thing

It also helps cut down on insurance fraud. Someone not listed on the report won't be able to claim they were in the car after the fact.

Agreed.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

No. The passengers are witnesses, and if he didn't blue for them, the state accident report calls for that information.

Again, people who have no idea about what the job on police officer entails.....

Still wanting to know what this means, or was it a typo?

 

[mitchntx]

Video of the accident?

LiveLeak.com - Remember That Yellow Bastard? Look at his driving skills!

 

[ZX9RCAM]

LOL

He meant "blue form."

• Driver's Crash Report (CR-2) (Blue Form)

This report is completed by a driver involved in a traffic crash when the crash is not investigated by a law enforcement officer and apparent damage is $1,000 or more or when the crash resulted in injury or death.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Thank you!

^ Deserves not to be ignored.

Both wife and daughter have been involved, separately, in this type of scam in the past two years.
Damned insurance company (USAA) bends over and takes it in the ash as a matter of convenience, to them.

Just don't even call the cops for a minor accident. They don't want to go there anyway. Get off the road, don't just leave your cars sitting there. Get insurance information, take a lot of pictures of the damage, and fill out a crash report online.

Collisions

 

[JohnnyLoco]

Witnesses to a potential crime. The non-drivers though did not have to give ID, just verbal name, address, dob.

There's no crime unless the other driver was intoxicated, hit and run, or didn't have insurance.

There is no reason for passengers to provide id. Come on now.

Or ran a stop sign. Or failed to control speed. Or any other traffic violation.

Or they were a victim in the crash, injured or not. As others have said, it's a spot on the form. See for yourself.
