Know your rights under Delaware law — §1902 stop-and-identify, §464 Castle Doctrine, no Stand Your Ground, §2402 one-party consent, §1441 CCDW licensing, DUI checkpoints, §2740 implied consent, §4784 civil forfeiture without conviction, HB 1 cannabis legalization
Delaware requires you to identify yourself during lawful police stops (§1902 stop-and-identify) but retains strong Castle Doctrine protections (§464) with no duty to retreat in your home. There is no Stand Your Ground law — outside the home, a duty to retreat applies. Firearms require a CCDW license for concealed carry (§1441). One-party consent applies to recordings (§2402). DUI checkpoints are legal (§2740 implied consent). Civil forfeiture proceeds without a criminal conviction (§4784). Cannabis is legal for adults since HB 1 (2023). Delaware is the birthplace of Franks v. Delaware (1978), establishing the right to challenge warrant affidavits.
