No cops can't go around identifying anyone they want & especially on private property. These cops have limited power anyway. They can't go to another state and treat society like this. The guy definitely has Common Constitutional grounds to sue them on in federal court . He wasn't even driving or the 1 they pulled over.

You shouldn’t be able to arrest someone over an infraction. This is legit escalating a situation to make an arrest

[@ToddKing]

I don't know if it is federal law but I believe that almost anywhere an officer has the option of arrest for any minor ticketable offense. A ticket is basically a summons to appear in court but most people don't, they just plead guilty and pay the fine. But the roadside issuance of a ticket is in lue of an arrest and having a judge issue a summons to appear. But it's my understanding that an officer can decide to arrest you and take you before a judge. The idea of a ticket was invented to reduce simplify things IIRC. Don't take any of this as gospel, I'm just going from memory.

[@robertyoung9589]

An infraction is not a crime and therefore an arrest cannot be made. You can only be arrested for a misdemeanor or felony. If the passenger was going to be issued an infraction ticket for the seat belt then should have requested the passengers information for the ticket. A drivers license is not required in order to be a passenger in a vehicle nor is an ID required.

[@samjones6188]

@@robertyoung9589 You could be right. Also we have to remember that a lot of things can vary from state to state.

@@frotobaggins7169 I once was denied a job because I forgot to mention an encounter I had with police when I was a teenager. You see, the job was working for the police in an IT role, and on the application I had to list any and all encounters I've ever had with police. I had never been arrested, never so much as had a ticket, but when I was 15 I got busted at a festival with a smoking bowl, but I didn't list it because it honestly had slipped my mind. I was never booked, but detained, questioned, and my parents came to pick me up, but it was the data from this encounter that got me. Since I wasn't arrested nothing ever got entered into the judicial and/or criminal database, but it turns out the police have internal records that they keep and use. Any time they ask for your name or whatever you can bet your sweet ass that it's going into this database. You might think nothing of it, but 15 years later a situation may arise where the cops will go "well, if it isn't Mike Smith, an officer Jenkins picked you up on this at the same spot 15 years ago" or whatever and you can bet your ass that information won't benefit you one bit.
