If you get popped for something and can’t or won’t show
ID to the nice officer, the nice officer can indeed conduct
your sweet backside to the hoosegow.
That’s pretty much how it works anywhere, not just Fun City.

I think you just have to identify yourself as in name, rank and serial number unless you’re engaged in motorizing.
What if you don't HAVE ID?
The Dems make a big deal about not needing ID to vote, but here we have a case where not having ID means you spend a couple of days in jail?

You mean fascist city? No, that's not "pretty much how it works anywhere."
It's total bullshit. I don't have to be carrying an ID to walk around this country in public. There was no reasonable cause for the arrest, except the cop being a Tyrannical asshole.
Additionally, the ID could apparently have been retrieved within a few short minutes, being only two blocks away. Too much bother for a NYPD cop, I guess.
Better to waste huge amounts of time and public resources ferrying this "criminal" back and forth across town for a couple of days, and then having a judge with some sense summarily dismiss the charge.
It astounds me what some people are willing to submit to, all in the holy name of "law and order." It's downright un-American.
It’s my understanding that the cop has to have cause to lock you up. He just cannot lock up a person because it’s Tuesday.
The only legitimate thing I can think of in this situation is that a crime might have been committed in the area and, because the girl couldn’t show I’d, the cop might have held her until her identity could be ascertained.
Having said that, I think the proper procedure in this situation is that the cop should have brought her in and allowed her to phone somebody to get her I’d and the whole thing could have been cleared up that night.
