Original review summary

The review says showing identification does not automatically make an on-the-spot arrest invalid: arrest necessity depends on the circumstances, and an ID address alone does not establish that a person will not flee. It also notes that an arrest later found improper does not automatically make the person who made it criminally liable; that may depend on whether they reasonably believed the arrest was lawful.
