Under the statute they need reasonable suspicion that an actual crime had been committed. The consensus appears to be that the alleged crime might have been felon in possession. Thus, they needed reasonable suspicion that these gentlemen were felons in order to legally require production of ID under the statute.

Failing to meet the legal requirement, they could have reasonably requested that the guys voluntarily identify themselves just to make life easier for everybody. Refusal of that request would have been unnecessarily obstinate but not illegal.

I disagree and I think the WI law is very clear on the matter.
