How do you identify yourself without producing ID? I guess they could run your name, DOB, DL# and/or SSN through the computer to verify, but if not you could say you're anybody.
I've heard of people being taken to the station to be fingerprinted to verify identity before they were let go.

Trust me. Being a cop won't stop you from going to jail. It usually makes matters worse. I know of a few guys who tried flashing their badge to get out of things, only to find themselves in deeper **** than when they started.
