Overview

Specifies that the evidence identity that a person other than a driver of a motor vehicle must provide to a peace officer or traffic enforcement agent in certain circumstances includes the person's full name, date of birth and residence address.

History

Current statute makes it a class 2 misdemeanor offense for the operator of a motor vehicle who knowingly fails or refuses to bring his or her motor vehicle to a stop after being given a visual or audible signal or instruction by a peace officer or authorized traffic enforcement agent. It is also class 2 misdemeanor offense for the operator of a motor vehicle who stops as required above to fail or refuse to either exhibit the operator's driver license or, if the driver is not licensed, to fail or refuse to provide evidence of the driver's identity upon request. For purposes of this requirement, the statute requires that the driver's evidence of identity include the following information:

1) The driver's full name;

2) The driver's date of birth;

3) The driver's residence address;

4) A brief physical description of the driver, including the driver's sex, weight, height and eye and hair color; and

5) The driver's signature.

Statute also makes it a class 2 misdemeanor offense for a person other than the driver of a motor vehicle who fails or refuses to provide evidence of the person's identity to a peace officer or traffic enforcement agent on request, if the officer or agent has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed a violation of A.R.S. Title 28 (A.R.S. § 28-1595).
