“I think that's pretty reprehensible,” Harrington said. “They really don't have the right to demand people give their identification unless they have some reason to believe that the identification that person is giving them is wrong."
Don't have the right? If I get stopped and don't have a drivers license or insurance card i'm not going anywhere until they find out who I am. Pretty basic stuff.

“They really don't have the right to demand people give their identification Actually they do. SCOTUS dealt with this about 3 years ago. If a police officer asks you for ID, you are legally bound to produce it.
