On a separate note it’s the same with traffic violations. If you refuse to identify yourself, or your vehicle has been caught speeding and you refuse to give information on who was the driver, you’ll get arrested in no time. Otherwise it’s a 20-50€ fine, and you can probably not pay it, if you’ll never catch another one.
Yes, yes, give them your passport, and address, and a phone number, and whatever else they need. What are they gonna do with them? Send debt collectors from Rome to the middle-of-nowhere, Teneese?
When you face a system that was clearly designed by morons, you should remember that they will be just as dumb when it comes to actually enforcing the system.
(Just PSA, if you do live in, Rome, and repeatedly ride without a ticket, after repeated offenses, you’ll eventually catch a fine of 1k€+ and if you won’t pay that, they’ll put you in jail for a few weeks.)
I was told in no uncertain terms If I didn’t give them my passport info they would arrest me.
Which is 100% true, and it seems pretty clear from the comment that you replied to that they provided their passport info.

This is a legal advice.
