For Star subscribers: Cyclists and pedestrians accused of violating traffic laws would have to identify themselves to police, a move some lawmakers worried could raise tensions at traffic stops.
It turns out state law doesn't require you to tell police who you are.And now Tucson police officers want state lawmakers to close that loophole to allow them to demand identification of those people, a move that would allow officers to start issuing citations.
"What Tucson is experiencing is we run into someone who's committed a violation, say jaywalking or riding on a sidewalk doing something differently," Dickinson explained. "Maybe it's a 12-year-old riding a bike," he said."Maybe it's someone it's their first time in Arizona.""But we do believe they need to give their true identity," he said.
"And that only opens up the potential for dangerous interactions and for my community to potentially be harmed as they so often are in these traffic stops," Ortiz said in voting against the measure.
