We don’t think people should be required to identify themselves. Self-identification can amount to self-incrimination, and compelling individuals to answer any question from police or other government agents would violate the Constitutional right not to be compelled to give evidence against oneself. You [should] have the same right to remain silent if police ask, “What is your name?” as you have if you are asked any other question.

    You’re not admitting to any crime by giving your name. That’s how. This argument is dumb.
