Talk:Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada

message: Why doesn't the Wikipedia use standard legal citation forms?
:We try to, but if you're referring to using full words in case names rather than Bluebook abbreviations, I personally think at least it's better to avoid using abbreviations that aren't commonly used outside the legal profession because no one but lawyers will know what they refer to.  Is there another issue you had?  Postdlf 02:21, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: If the Indiana law requires a citation, so do the Arizona and Ohio laws. I've added these citations, as well as citations for the laws mentioned in Hiibel. Although it saves the reader the need to go to the Stop and identify statutes article, it does have the drawback of creating two lists of links to be maintained. I've preserved this article's list style, but a good argument could be made for using the same style for both this and the Stop and identify statutes article so that one of the two articles could be updated and the results simply copied to the other.

replies: text: My recommendation would be to eliminate the list from this page, as it's unnecessarily duplicative of the Stop and Identify statutes article. Jkatzen (talk) 17:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't disagree; that actually was my first thought. I don't think it really matters which “stop-and-identify” laws were mentioned in the opinion; a state either has such a law or it does not. But I'm OK with whichever way people want it. If the list is eliminated, should it be replaced with a sentence specifically directing the reader to the Stop and identify statutes article or should it be assumed the reader will figure this out own on her own?

text: I've deleted the list and added a note with a reference to the Stop and identify statutes article; see if this works. JeffConrad (talk) 22:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation of “stop-and-identify” laws

message: It might be accurate to say something like:
:“Mimi Hiibel tried to hurriedly leave the truck and was thrown to the ground by Trooper Merschel. Deputy Dove came to assist Merschel; Mimi screamed and struggled as one of the offficers held her down and the other handcuffed her.”
The actions of Mimi and Trooper Merschel may illustrate that Mimi is a bit hotheaded and Merschel given to excessive use of force, but they really have nothing to do with the case. Inclusion of the information simply distracts from the main issue. JeffConrad (talk) 07:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mimi Hiibel 

message: I think 72.181.155.223 makes a valid point that the Court did not completely resolve all Fifth Amendment questions. But the Court indeed held that Hiibel's conviction did not violate his Fifth Amendment rights, and I think to omit this is misleading and ostensibly conflicts with the head notes and the text of the opinion. Justice Kennedy stated
:“Still, a case may arise where there is a substantial allegation that furnishing identity at the time of a stop would have given the police a link in the chain of evidence needed to convict the individual of a separate offense. In that case, the court can then consider whether the privilege applies, and, if the Fifth Amendment has been violated, what remedy must follow.” (577 U.S., at 191)
Accordingly, we probably should qualify what we say about the holding. Perhaps we should just say something to the effect that the Court upheld Hiibel's conviction because he gave no reason why giving his name would incriminate him, but (at least in theory) left open the possibility that the Fifth Amendment privilege might apply in circumstances in which providing identity could be incriminating, and support it with the quotation above. I'm willing to give this a shot, but I'd like to hear what others think first. Practically, I question the assertion of a privilege that can only apply when not asserting it would likely be incriminating; it would seem to me that the assertion would then be incriminating per se.

message: I haven't had time to read the 9th Circuit's opinion yet, but based on the Identity Project's update it seems relevant as a follow-up. Legoktm (talk) 08:54, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
