If a private citizen asking me for my name and address I'm not obligated to give them any information right
You're correct. In New York, you are generally not obligated to provide your name and address to a private citizen unless there is a legal requirement or specific situation that mandates it, such as a police officer's request during an investigation. Is there a particular reason why someone is asking for your details?
She was going to call the cops on me
It sounds like a tense situation. If someone is threatening to call the police, it's often best to remain calm and avoid escalating the situation. If the police do get involved, you have the right to remain silent and can ask for an attorney. Can you share more details about what led to this situation?
