In May of 2000, 59-year-old Dudley Hiibel was standing next to his pickup truck on the side of the road talking to his daughter when a deputy sheriff pulled up and asked to see his identification. Hiibel refused to show ID (since the deputy wouldn't say why he wanted to see it), and a few minutes later Hiibel was under arrest for Delaying a Peace Officer. On March 22nd (2004), the US Supreme Court will be hearing the case.
What exactly happened that day and why? Was the arrest at all justified? You can decide for yourself, because the whole thing was caught on videotape and is available for viewing on this site.
