This is exactly what I wanted to say: the initiation of the whole incident is open for debate (hell, I tend towards racial profiling/harrasment), but once the woman wouldn’t identify herself after being told to (in a state where that is mandatory), the cop even explains that she is required to by law and if she doesn’t, she will be arrested.
What happens after that is just an arrest. Which she probably could have avoided by showing ID and being reasonable instead of getting on her high horse and resisting it. Now, having seen the video, I do not think she has much of a case (except maybe on the ‘assaulting a policeofficer’ charge).
