    Watching experienced First Amendment auditors, you will definitely see them school U.S. cops on the 1st Amendment and ID laws (these vary by state).

    Cops have an advantage over ordinary folks: they are authoritative figures with wide-ranging powers. They can detain most people without cause, and most people won't realize that the cop is in the wrong. And they can always just make up a resisting arrest or disorderly conduct charge. Even if the person goes free later, arresting them in that moment might have been the cop's goal.
