I've heard of people being taken to the station to be fingerprinted to verify identity before they were let go.
Yep, that's what they do if you don't have ID. One day I was walking from the convenience store to my apartment across the street. A cop stopped me in the parking lot. Wanted my ID. Claimed he was looking for someone who looked like me. He offered me a trip to police HQ if I didn't have an ID.
After he ran the ID, he owed that he was looking for someone who was shorter, hairier, stockier and younger than me.
