AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Texas Senate has approved legislation that would allow police to arrest Texans who fail to identify themselves after being detained.
Under the bill, which passed 24-6, Texans could be arrested and charged with a crime if they refused to give their name, date of birth and address.
Opponents complained the bill would infringe on personal liberties.
Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, sponsor of the bill, said in ``in this time of homeland security issues'' the police need the power to force people they detain to identify themselves.

Hmmmmm, I have mixed feelings about this law.
Never give up! Never surrender! Never compromise your values!*

Police already have this ability to detain someone until they identify themselves. I think it's part of the Partiot Act. Looks like this bill will kick it up a knotch and turn it into an arrest.
I don't have a problem identifying myself to police.
In fact, I've been pulled over and breifly detained because a neighborhood trouble maker drove a car that looked just like mine. I waited on the ID check and went on my way. After that, I just waved at the officers in the area and never got pulled over again. Oh and they finally got their man.
I don't disagree with this because of illegal immigration. Right now they can walk away from so many things and an arrest will at least get them printed and photographed.

But are Americans already being profiled to pay the cost of illegals?
