Requirement To Open Window?
I have searched the forum but could not see that this question was asked already, if it has please just refer me to that thread.
We had a discussion in the office today about whether or not you are legally required to open your car window if stopped by police. I remember hearing about a guy in Florida who had a bag he hung out the window with his license, registration and insurance in it.
Section 33 says....
33. (1) Every driver of a motor vehicle or street car shall carry his or her licence with him or her at all times while he or she is in charge of a motor vehicle or street car and shall surrender the licence for reasonable inspection upon the demand of a police officer or officer appointed for carrying out the provisions of this Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 33 (1).
But....
(3) Every person who is unable or refuses to surrender his or her licence in accordance with subsection (1) or (2) shall, when requested by a police officer or officer appointed for carrying out the provisions of this Act, give reasonable identification of himself or herself and, for the purposes of this subsection, the correct name and address of the person shall be deemed to be reasonable identification. 1993, c. 40, s. 3.
Would this "bag of identification" work here?
