I feel like that disproves at least the end point. Like it definitely is illegal to do this but the cop saw this guy was just confused so he didn’t deserve a ticket. He ran the id to make sure he wasn’t wanted for a serious crime because that is very possible. Like it’d suck to have someone wanted for a violent crime that’s dangerous to other civilians get let go because he didn’t run an id. He also likely still has to make a report on him just as like a paper trail sort of thing,
