-Caveat Lector-
YES you have the right to assure that the person you are talking to is a
public servant/law enforcement officer.
NO that does not give you permission to ask a thousand different questions.
scofflaw stopped by traffic cop in uniform refused to produce his
(non-existent) license or proof of insurance and instead tried
to insist that cop first fill out his "Public Servant's Questionnaire"
(PSQ), convicted of obstructing a police officer. City of
Billings v. Skurdal (1986) 224 Mont 84, 730 P2d 371 cert.den 481 US 1020;
the same sort of PSQ was held an improper
attempt at discovery, and could not be used during litigation under the Fed
Rules of Civil Procedure ( the PSQ included
questions about govt employee's Social Security Numbers, home phone numbers
and addresses, and details about spouses -
all explicitly beyond the scope of the Freedom of Information Act, even
though two versions of the PSQ on the internet refer to
the FOIA as their source of authority). US v. Scott (ND Ind unpub 2/4/98)
81 AFTR2d 1076 judgmt entered (ND Ind unpub
10/8/98) and his subsequent attempt to appeal on the grounds that the court
should have compelled the govt employees to
answer his PSQs was fined heavily as "frivolous squared". US v. Scott (7th
Cir unpub 6/23/99); not an acceptable alternative to
a Freedom of Information or Privacy Act request, and could not sue fed govt
employees for not filling out his PSQ. Murdock
v. Kay (ED Mich unpub 7/23/96) 96 USTC para 50517, 78 AFTR2d 6117 aff'd 124
F3d 198(t), 97 USTC para 50776, 80
AFTR2d 6485; ditto ("Plaintiff cited no authority supporting his right to
have these questionnaires completed, and we are aware
of none.") Allen v. Cantrell (D Kan unpub 12/27/78) 79 USTC para 9171, 43
AFTR2d 710; similarly (presented traffic cop
with a "Notice to arresting officer with Miranda warning") State v. Booher
(Tenn.Crim.App 1997) 978 SW2d 953.
