Johnson v. Nocco

Not clearly established that deputy violated arrestee's Fourth Amendment rights in requiring him to identify himself during lawful traffic stop; N.B. there are three separate opinions in this case, including one dissent thus it’s unclear what precedential value it has with respect to the reasoning.

Lyberger v. Snider

Refusing to provide identification to a police officer is not probable cause for arrest for obstruction under Illinois law; Hiibel v. Sixth District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004) merely held that a state may pass a law that makes refusing to provide identification to police a crime, but Illinois law does not do that; but police here did have probable cause to arrest plaintiffs for trespass, defeating § 1983 claim for false arrest.
