What should I do for private citizen on the street is asking for my first and last name and asking me where I'm going and it's not the police
You generally have no legal obligation to share your name or destination with a private citizen. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, you can:
- Politely decline to answer.
- Walk away.
- Call the police if you feel threatened or harassed.
Your safety is the priority.
**** make it more simple
If someone on the street asks your name or where you're going, you don't have to tell them. If you feel scared:
- Say, "I don't want to talk."
- Walk away.
- Tell a trusted adult.
- Call the police if you're in danger.
