It's not just standing on principle. Since the officer clearly can't hold him based on what he saw or what the passengers told him, refusing to show ID and asking to leave puts the officer on the spot to have to decide whether to arrest him or let him go. Since arresting him does not follow procedure for what he was doing, he'd be let go. If not, there'd be great grounds for a lawsuit that could possibly put an end to this sort of behavior (which luckily I have not experienced in a couple years from the NYPD, but have experienced last year from the MTA Police before that memo came out). |
