    03-5554 -- Hiibel V. Sixth Judicial Dist. Court of Nev., Humboldt Cty

    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2003 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus HIIBEL v. SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF NEVADA, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA No. 03–5554. Argued March 22, 2004—Decided June 21, 2004 Petitioner Hiibel was arrested and convicted in a Nevada court for re- fusing to identify himself to a police officer during an investigative stop involving a reported assault. Nevada’s “stop and identify” stat- ute requires a person detained by an officer under suspicious circum- stances to identify himself. The state intermediate appellate court affirmed, rejecting Hiibel’s argument that the state law’s application to his case violated the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed. Held: Petitioner’s conviction does not violate his Fourth Amendment rights or the Fifth Amendment’s prohibition on self-incrimination. Pp. 3–13. (a) State stop and identify statutes often combine elements of tra- ditional vagrancy laws with provisions intended to regulate police behavior in the course of investigatory stops. They vary from State to State, but all permit an officer to ask or require a suspect to disclose his identity.
