This is not legal advice specific to any actual situation or circumstances but is only a general discussion of what laws may or may not apply and what recourse you may or may not have. Please keep in mind that even if something is not legal or your rights are being violated, you may only be able to fully vindicate such unlawful acts or violations of your rights through legal action such as the trial you are forced to endure as a defendant. Remember, you can be arrested for anything or nothing and you can rest assured a charge will be made that you were (a) disorderly, (b) refusing to comply with a lawful instruction by law enforcement, (c) resisting arrest,or (d) some other BS charge that the police will try to stick you with. With that being said:
1) Is it lawful for me to dismiss myself as "free to go" if the police do not answer my request for clarification? (Clarification in regards to whether I am being detained and whether there is evidence that I have or am about to commit a crime.)
You should absolutely ask the following two questions clear and loud enough that there is no mistake that you are heard: (1) Am I being detained? (2) Am I free to go? If you are being detained, you must stay. If the police officer says you are not free to go, you are being detained. If the police do not respond to either question, you should assume you are free to go unless told otherwise. Of course, I am assuming you are neither in handcuffs or in the back of a police car.
2) Is there a time limit I must wait for an answer before I dismiss myself?
No. Ask the questions. If no response, you are free to go unless told otherwise.
3) Are they required to present said evidence upon my request?
No.
I watched one video where a gentleman was placed in handcuffs and pushed into the back of a police cruiser for not producing his identification, which I later understood that he was not required to present as he had not broken any laws and was not under suspicion to break any either.
1) If the police demand to see my identification, am I at liberty to demand proof from the police as to what laws I have broken before producing my identification?
No. You can certainly ask why you are being detained, etc., but they are not required to answer you.
2) If the police do not answer my request for clarification, am I still legally required to produce my identification?
You are not legally required to "produce" identification in response to an unlawful detention without reasonable suspicion. However, I do not view the situation as one to argue your rights because "reasonable suspicion" can be fabricated later after you have been arrested for failure to give your ID and you can then deal with the issue at trial, etc.
3) Must I produce identification upon ANY law being broken or is it only upon specific types of laws being broken?
If the detention is in compliance with 11 Del. C. s. 1902 (discussed above), you must provide identification (keeping in mind that the statute does not require you to produce "papers" only to state your name, address and destination).
4) If the police lie about me breaking a law in an effort to force me to produce identification, is there any form of recourse for me right the wrong done to me?
Certainly. You can file a formal complaint with the police department. You can also file a civil rights violation complaint. Good luck with that.
And lastly, I've seen several videos where the police confronted open carriers by immediately frisking them with very little notice (basically just "Turn this way" or "Face that direction for me") and removing the firearms from the lawfully carrying citizens.
1) Are the police allowed to frisk me without having a reason to suspect that I have or am about to commit a crime?
Nope
2) Are the police allowed to take my firearm away from me without having a reason to suspect that I have or am about to commit a crime?
Not in Delaware.
I recently read an article about police and testifying in court. There is a phrase that is used regarding this activity and how the police have a nasty habit of making stuff up. They call is "TESTILYING." Keep that in mind. Remember, police are professional witnesses. They know what to say and when to say it. I will note that the majority of police officers do have integrity and honor. However, everyone will lie to save their own hide. I see it all the time.
