You claimed that it was standard procedure for a police officer to get ID from every single person they come in contact with. How exactly is an officer supposed to carry out this "standard procedure" when there is no reason to suspect criminal activity and the person refuses to give ID?
How can you make something a "standard procedure" if there is no way make it happen? Are you trained to exceed your authority and force the person to produce it?
I will now address your second point. When you establish contact with a person in an official capacity, i.e. you may be citing them for an infraction or more, it is standard operational procedure to establish the identity of the contactee. Since this woman clearly falls under this definition I am, yet again, slightly mystified as to why you find their request for ID puzzling. Or is it common practice in Tennessee to hand out citations to people without first confirming their actual identity?
