I'm all about the whole "I got pulled over for speeding on my bike" stories, but to criticism, disrespect, and contempt for people that sign up to risk their lives to save others is disgusting.
I see that you're from Manassas, Virginia. It might interest you to know that in this state, along with many others, it is not required to show ID when asked by law enforcement. If the officer were to have detained him for failure to show ID, he would have been in direct violation of the law. You are only required to carry a driver's license when you are driving a MOTOR vehicle.
It would have made for an even better story had he been detained - the wrongful detention lawsuit would have been a slam dunk. I'm sure, though, that the cop knew this, and that's why he was not detained.
