You don’t have to provide ID, but if you’re being mistaken for someone whose committed a crime, why wouldn’t you?

I don’t understand the actions of the “victim” here. Everyone knows the police are trigger happy; they’re looking for someone who’s done god knows what, so instead of showing his ID or quietly going to jail snd workng it out there, he chooses to stand there yelling, flailing his arms and snatching away. I don’t get. You don’t want to show identification because you don’t HAVE TO, but you also don’t want to go to jail on a case of mistaken identity... choices.

It’s possible he may have some legal issues under his real name which may have gotten him arrested anyway. In that situation it’s probably best just to assert his rights not to show ID unless required to.

1. I know they are not detectives.
2. But you suspect someone is a wanted person.
3. You can look up the property info - It’s not hard to do as a private citizen so I’m thinking the cops have it even easier
4. Other means of simple detecting

Instead cops can lie and pretend to trick you into incriminating yourself. When you don’t, just snatch you up anyway.

He had his hands on that mans person pretty quick.
