More details to this question:
I was pulled over by E.o.p.d after they license plate reader got a hit off my kids mothers car, she had a warranty, after he approached the car seeing clearly I wasn't her, he still demanded to see my identification. If I personally didn't commit any offenses, and I obviously wasn't her, the car wasn't reported stolen, did he have a right to I.d me?

yes. the police have the obligation to stop the car for the warrant and an obligation to determine who is driving the car. thye would lose their job if they did not take those actions. this was proper and required procedure. ed dimon, esq.
