The key word being "unreasonable", and since this is a legal, and common practice elsewhere, I don't see it as unreasonable.
I think it's fine that retailrs ask to check the receipt. But if I say no, then it should also be fine to let me go. Also, where did it say he refused to cooperate with the officer? He gave an identity, and even provided the receipt to the officer to prove he didn't steal anything! He just didn't have a photo ID, which under Ohio law, wasn't required in the first place.

where did it say he refused to cooperate with the officer? The fact he was arrested and booked downtown by the officer is quite clear to me he wasn't cooperating. But maybe you have a different definition of "cooperating" as well., since you consider what many consider as a perfectly acceptable deterrent to crime to be "unreasonable".
