Why did they want her info?
I have never been to Salt Lake, but I wonder what is near the address she was arrested at? If there are a lot of possible "targets" in that area, and she (being a phoptographer and her name has a possibly of being a "minority" ) was taking photos more so than what a normal tourist in Salt Lake would, and looked a little suspicious, the officers probably noticed her, and decided to question her. Then she refuses to give ID.........
(....just this freeper's VERY humble opinion....)
Probably wanted a date...or at least try to feel like a "man" by bossing a woman around.
What kind of smart-alec question is that? It's for The Children, of course. We're At War Now.
That's classified municipal security information.
Really crummy reporting, no?
One would think that is the first question a real reporter would ask
As far as I'm concerned, if I am ever asked, my response is "why do you need to know?". He either has probable cause or he doesn't.
Specially as a pedestrian.
Bill clinton thought she was cute and asked them to get it for him. You don't turn Slick down and get off easily.
Some cops find this a good way to pick up chicks. Their ID gives you their personal information such as name, address, and age and if they seem to be impressed with the uniform.............
