LAWYER : What To Say When Australian Police Ask Passengers for ID

LAWYER : What To Say When Australian Police Ask Passengers for ID 📘Get the exact words to say when police stop you — all 8 states: 👉 https://bennyknowyourrights.com "And you, mate — got some ID on you?" That question isn't a duty — you're not the driver, and most of the time a passenger owes police nothing, the moment a torch swings across the console and everyone assumes the rules are the same. They aren't. But under LEPRA s.14, if police reasonably suspect the car was used in connection with an indictable offence, a passenger who refuses to give their name faces up to 12 months under s.16 — and a false name is a separate charge. The rest of the time, handing your licence over just writes you onto the file as a named associate. A torch on your face. A wallet you don't reach for. In this video: the one sentence that makes him name the power before you give anything, why every clause works, and what to say when he pushes twice. This is what one polite reflex costs a passenger who did nothing — and what knowing the line means for anyone who's ever ridden shotgun. 📚 SOURCES LEPRA 2002 (NSW) s.11 · s.12 · s.13A · s.13C · s.14 · s.16 · s.18 · s.21 · s.99 · s.202 · Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW) s.175 · Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) s.546C · R v Rondo [2001] NSWCCA 540 · Streat v Bauer (NSWSC, 1998) · Petty v The Queen (1991) 173 CLR 95 · State of NSW v Madden [2024] NSWCA 40 · Criminal Investigation (Identifying People) Act 2002 (WA) s.16 · Hiibel v Nevada (2004) / Brendlin v California (2007) (US, for contrast). ⚠️ This video is general legal information and education only, not legal advice. #PassengerRights #TrafficStop #KnowYourRights #PoliceEncounter #YourRights #Australia
