Politics – New Ohio Law Allows Cops to Request ID<\/a><\/p>\n

Ohio Republican Gov. Bob Taft on Wednesday signed a bill into law passed by <\/p>\n

the state legislature with barely a word of dissent. Supporters of the state’s security measure, which takes effect in 90 days, say <\/p>\n

now ask, “What’s your name?” as a tool to fight terrorism. Failure to identify oneself could land an individual in jail.<\/p>\n

haven’t supported terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n
