Not without a reason to stop and detain her in the first place.So, then, she could just have walked away without providing ID? Either she was free to go or she was required to provide ID. Which was it?If they person is not violating any law, and she was not, they have no right to detain her at all.She was walking in the street and SOP is to ask for ID whenever a cop is engaged with a citizen. They want to know who the person and make sure there are no outstanding warrants and it also helps when they are writing their daily report.
She violated the pedestrian in roadway law. They absolutely had the legal authority to.
She wasn't being detained.
Yes I suppose she could have. However, by refusing provide an ID when asked it may raise suspicion which would warrant detainment. It's really up to the officer's discretion.
