Re: Identification
Hello. To my knowledge, in Illinois, there is
not a law requiring a U.S. citizen to carry iden-
tification at all times. This is the case even
after 9/11. However, with regard to a related
topic where a person is stopped by a police
officer, there is law that requires citizens
to provide the officer with their name and
address. But for this very slight change in the
law, we as citizens still have the right to
remain silent as to further questions a police
officer may ask us. I will be happy to answer
any additional questions that you might have.
