But, why ask for ID from the ones not carrying?
Well, they walked up and injected themselves into the situation...
I guess they could have refused constitutional, but that would have simply made the LEO escalate...
Put yourself in LEO shoes...someone walks up and refuses to show ID, you have no idea who you are dealing with and why would they not be willing to show an ID?
I know you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but let's deal with reality here...a large percent of LEO could care less about your constitutional rights and long as they get to go home and polish their badges...they will dance all over them...
