The appellate court dismissed the appeal against a conviction for failing to identify the driver of a vehicle involved in a traffic violation. The defendant argued that the municipal guard station used the incorrect name and lacked authority to demand information at the time of the incident. The court ruled that the entity's actual legal competence, not its specific name, determined its authority, and the defendant's failure to comply constituted a punishable omission.
