Traffic stops in Ohio are about to go down in a way they never previously have. Governor Mike DeWine just signed House Bill 492 into law. It makes it so that passengers who refuse to identify themselves during a lawful traffic stop could be charged with a criminal offense. Law enforcement groups call it a fix for a loophole. Civil liberty advocates say it’s an overreach that could criminalize behavior that has long been legal. Regardless of which side one falls on, the law goes into effect soon.
