quick question.

Do you have to give your name or any info to the police officers??

example #1: You are walking along minding your own business, and LEO (law
enforcement officer) want to check you out.. asking name birthdate address?
- Answer or No?

example #2: you are in the police station, they are doing paper work. They ask
for your name, address, birthdate, social security #. ANSWER?? or just remain
silent until you meet with a lawyer??

thanks..

In the US you HAVE to tell a police officer your name. If asked you also have to give a BRIEF description of why you are in an area.....

do y'all think they were lying or can they involve family services before they place me under arrest? i still play that day over and over in my head.

I have to assume if they really had what they said they did they would have showed with a warrant. But as you say, threatening to remove your child from his home changes the rules. Looking out for your children is priority one and you should be proud of that. It's tough to gamble losing your children and having them live that trauma....

In the u.k you do not have to give your name if you are stopped the only time you have to give your name is if you are driving a vehicle failing to do so will result in arrest, but if you are out walking and a copper stops you he must tell you why he stopped you and have good reason to search you e.g you fit a description of someone who as just committed a crime in that area or if they suspect you are carrying drugs etc they are then supposed to fill out a form to say why they stopped you and where and what time. you "DO NOT" have to say your name or address although this will make it almost imposable to be granted bail until you have been up in front of the judge usually 9am the next day 8-) if you have done nothing wrong they "CAN NOT" arrest for failing to give out details about your self so do not be fooled by this.

if you have an house full off weed tell them you have no fixed abode and you live rough tell them anything just dont give your address for f***'s sake LOL

In the US the police have the power to stop and question people who are not under arrest. In that case you should ONLY give your full name and address. Other than that, you don't have to say shit. If you don't identify yourself, the pigs can arrest you.

In example 2 you are under arrest, and telling the pigs your name is the least of your worries. The best thing for you to do once you have told the pigs who you are is to shut the fuck up and wait to speak to your lawyer.

From my experience, keeping your mouth shut and letting them do their job is key! I had a situation where a young cop arrested me and he talked me into giving myself up and i didnt even realize it! He told me if i didnt comply he would tell the judge.... well the asshole never even showed up in court!
