Show Notes
The Alabama Supreme Court has ruled that police can demand physical identification if their verbal answers seem incomplete or unsatisfactory during a stop. This decision stems from a case involving a Black pastor arrested while watering his neighbors flowers. Despite identifying himself and explaining his presence, the pastor was arrested for obstructing government operations. The case was dismissed, but the state Supreme Courts ruling could set a precedent for expanded police power in Alabama.
