My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
If police respond to a 911 domestic call by your spouse, are you required to provide ID and your phone number?
In this case spouse didn't allege any assault or crime but just wanted to talk to police, but at the time I didn't know what would or would not be said by the spouse. I was familiar with the general refrain of not talking to the police, so when they asked for my phone number I said that I didn't want to say anything. They told me that I would be in trouble if I didn't identify myself, so I said I was willing to give them my ID. (I don't know why they linked identifying myself with phone number).
My main question that I want to understand:
The several Youtube videos recommending not talking to police (including the famous one by prof. James Duane) have a flaw I think. They don't discuss what, if anything, are you required to disclose (or at least is a good idea to disclose). For instance, at a traffic stop I believe you are required to answer the question of identifying yourself, so it would be a bad idea to apply the advise of not talking in this case. But it's not clear in case of a domestic call, if you require to give ID card, phone number? Is it a good idea to do so or not? (One thing I do understand is that if police are making an arrest, then it's a good idea to keep quiet, but my question is before that happens.)
Can someone answer or clarify this please?
Is there a good resource to understand when you are required or not required to talk, rather than a generic recommendation in Youtube videos.
