> refused to provide her name and was arrested for resisting arrest <

In general, refusal to ID and resisting arrest are both secondary offenses. You can’t be arrested for either one without committing some other crime first.

What was her other crime? Disorderly conduct? Trespassing? Unfortunately, some cops will arrest for just a secondary offense. It’s wrong, but why should they care? Any lawsuit award won’t be coming out of their pockets.

Thank you for pointing that out. The fetish of the police to want everyone's ID is out of control.
