Study Notes

Stopping of Suspect (CRS §16-3-103)

A peace officer is authorized to stop individuals suspected of committing, having committed, or intending to commit a crime.
Officers can request identification and personal information from the stopped individual, including:
- Name
- Address
For drivers, officers may ask for additional documents:
- Driver's license
- Vehicle registration
- Proof of insurance
Officers can inquire about the individual’s actions, such as their destination or recent location.
Individuals are not obligated to respond to these inquiries; however, refusal to provide identification can lead to charges under DRMC 38-81(c) for interfering with police authority.
The act of stopping does not equate to an arrest.
If probable cause for arrest exists, officers may offer a diversion option:
- Suspects can be taken to the Assessment Intake Diversion (AID) Center for certain offenses, depending on the officer's discretion and the suspect's agreement.
