I refused to identify myself to the cops and was subsequently arrested. Was I wrong?

I can’t say that I know how things are done in your local court. I don’t. But in my court you would have a great chance of getting through this with no criminal charges. You may be able to get through this with just a municipal ordinance violation. Don’t think you necessarily have to even talk to the judge. Go there with the attitude you have now and talk to the officer and/or the prosecutor. You may be able to reach a conclusion you can be happy with long before you talk to a judge.

Whoops.

On that note, it might not be a bad idea to shut this one down.
