Wow, you are very wrong, as others have informed you... you apparently failed to read the Indiana Code that you posted...
1) There is NO legal requirement to have ID on you.
2) You are only required to identify yourself to a LEO if you are suspected of committing some crime.
3) If you do...
Quit thinking like a lib. The whole point of citizen carry is to DETER crime and interject if necessary. A whack job is going to be far less likely to try and pull something at an event where he doesn't know who is carrying than at a concert or other place where it's a 'gun free zone.' Common...
Ultimately I have no doubt that the time will come in which there is the ability to digitally certify a drivers license as valid, probably in the form NFC or similar. It would be very easy for the officer to use his phone to exchange an encrypted data stream with your phone (simply bump it) and...
The question is with regard to not carrying a wallet, not only those two items, though those two items are the most troublesome from a legal perspective, hence the thread.
I think you're missing the point. In the aforementioned scenario you are NOT reuqired to have your DL or LTCH on your person, therefore showing an electronic copy is going above and beyond.
1. You're in Lake County, so you may as well be part of Chicago, and I'm not really surprised with regard to your attitude.
2. You'll hear about later when you get sued under IC 34-13-342 and/or U.S.C. §1983 for false arrest, especially since (provided the person was not operating a motor...
Yeah many people carry those on their phones now too... many people have an ICE contact in their phone (in case of emergency) or some even have an emergency app on their home screen which details their medical history, medication, emergency contact information, insurance information, etc.
No problem, thanks for the welcome, it sounds like the official answer to the question "do you need it on your person" is DL: YES, and LTCH: NO. Well that was half the answer I was looking for. :)
Would still be interested in real world experiences on the matter.
This the kind of comment I specifically was not looking for... pure opinion / speculation. :-) BTW, the time is coming when digital copies of those items MUST be honored by law (just like digital signatures / acceptances must be honored now)... we're not there yet when it comes to drivers...
Thanks Hoosierdood, that information definitely helps. To your point about handing over the phone... I think the intelligent thing to do would be to present the image to the officer by showing them, not physically handing over your phone.
I'm also a pilot, and I've been told instructors...
Thanks ATM that's good to know. So at least if anything were to happen as a result of not having it on your person, it would all be thrown out.
However, that leads to the question/concern that it's essentially at the officer's discretion as to whether or not he would charge someone under...
Greetings, I'm new to the site, though I've been carrying in Indiana for over 15 years. I was wondering if anyone on here knows law with regard to carrying your permit on your person (and for that matter your driver's license). I'm in the process of digitizing most of my cards, etc. and trying...
