Asking for identification is in no way "unreasonable" when a cop has been called to a potential crime scene.

Good grief justi, read the links, - the recorded words of the principles make quite clear that this was not a "potential crime scene"..

There is nothing untoward about a cop asking one for identification when he has been called to a potential crime
scene. He MUST investigate to see what happened, who is involved. Any cop who doesn't do this is not doing his job or properly protecting himself.
Defending foolish drunks is no way to spread regard for the Constitution which is in no way involved in this. The Court will rule against the Moron there is little doubt.
Besides aren't the operative rules laid down by state authorities for police within those states? Isn't that what the extollers of the 10th amendment are always claiming? Asking for identification is not a violation of the 4th amendment.
