Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Witnesses
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of obstructing identification for giving a false name to an officer who had good cause ot believe that Defendant was a witness to a crime. Officer must have, at the time that he requests identification, probable cause to believe that Defendant is a witness to a crime; but here, officer did not have that belief at that time, and did not issue traffic citation to anyone. (JORGENSEN and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
