❌ HB492
Prohibit interfering with motor vehicle-related arrests
Current Status: Introduced In Senate
Summary
The bill expands the prohibition against interfering with motor vehicle-related arrests and requires drivers to disclose their name, address, and date of birth to police officers upon request if reasonably suspected of a violation. Violations of these provisions result in penalties classified as a minor misdemeanor or a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.
Rationale
The bill imposes additional requirements on individuals during police interactions and expands the scope of law enforcement authority, which conflicts with the principles of personal liberty and limited government advocated by both the Libertarian Party and the Libertarian Party of Ohio.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over individual interactions with law enforcement
- Potential for abuse of power by law enforcement
- Erosion of individual privacy rights
