I am not defending this officers actions one second. He was investigating a crime and the person was in close proximity. I feel he has every right to ask for ID. If you are a witness to a crime and officer asked for ID you must comply.

If officer was not investigation crime he has no right to compel ID.

Your scenario is a stretch. There is no requirement to show ID unless the person is to be detained per the USSC.

I don't carry ID on me unless I happen to be driving. Ever. If I'm on foot, I don't produce ID. Period.

Oh... state actors don't have rights. They have powers.

Citizens have rights.

What you “feel” is irrelevant to the fact as to whether or not she had a legal obligation to show ID.
