Supreme Court of the United States

Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, Humboldt County — Stevens, J., Dissenting

June 21, 2004542 U.S. 177

Summary

Justice Stevens dissents, arguing the Nevada statute compelling identification during a Terry stop violates the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. He contends identity disclosure is testimonial and potentially incriminating, citing precedents like Miranda, Terry, and Hubbell. The majority held otherwise, and Justice Breyer also dissented on Fourth Amendment grounds.
