1. Nah. As critical as I've been about how the cops handled this .. I think it's

silly to argue a cop (especially one in uniform), should be required to whip out an ID card during exigent circumstances .. those being the investigation of a potential felony in progress.

Not to mention, I doubt the code you cite is applicable in that instance (during a potential burglary in progress).

Afterwards and you want to see the officer's ID? Fine.

Before? I fiercely disagree, unless you can articulate for some reason you have strong doubts the person in the police uniform is actually a police officer.

I don't believe that was the case here.
