The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday against a Nevada rancher, upholding a state law that allows police to arrest people for refusing to identify themselves in a narrow decision that drew sharp criticism from civil liberties groups.
The deputy sheriff who arrested Larry “Dudley” Hiibel of Winnemucca on a rural road in May 2000 did not violate Hiibel’s Fourth or Fifth Amendment rights, the justices said in a 5-4 decision.
