What is the offense called when someone refuses to provide their identification to a peace officer after being lawfully detained?

The offense of refusing to provide identification to a peace officer after being lawfully detained is known as Failure to Identify. This law is based on the principle that individuals who are legally stopped or detained by law enforcement, due to reasonable suspicion or probable cause, are obligated to provide their name and identification when requested.

This requirement helps peace officers verify an individual's identity during an investigation or stop. When someone lawfully has their liberty restricted, failing to comply with this request can complicate the enforcement of the law and hinder the officer's ability to ensure public safety.

While other offenses like Resisting Arrest and Tampering with Evidence may involve issues of compliance with law enforcement, they pertain to different circumstances not directly related to the refusal of identification upon lawful detention. Impersonating a public servant involves a completely different legal concept, typically concerning someone wrongfully assuming an official position. Thus, Failure to Identify accurately captures the legal obligation of an individual in the context specified.
