Ah, so I should divide all of the numbers in your graphic in half to get to something reasonable then.
Cops can always find a reason to pull you over. Also, they have no obligation to tell you why they did so. 1 mph over the speed limit? Valid traffic stop. You slowly drifted from the right side of the lane to the left side? Valid traffic stop in the eyes of the law.
Is it bullshit? Yes. Illegal? No.
Is the driver in the OP still required to provide his license when pulled over?
Yes.
Yes, if you are driving you're required by law in New York state to provide your driver's license if asked.
If you're walking to work you don't have to carry ID, and you only have to identify yourself if they have a reasonable suspicion that you're committing a crime.
Edit: Holy shit y'all are insane. I knew Lemmy was an echo chamber but mass downvoting simple, factual information like this really makes me think less of you.

Yeah, cuz howling at the moon definitely isn't something regular wolves are known for.
