Ok. so we don't live in a police state... least I don't think we do...

At least one question I have, do the transit cops have the same authority as regular cops do. I am probably wrong, but i don't beleive transit cops carry guns.

The transit police officer asked for Willett's identification, but Willett kept walking. She said she was then frisked and handcuffed.
If a police officer asked you for identification, would you stop and show him?
Yes, the officer went a little overboard, but for a woman who's pretty intelligent, she seems to have made a lot of stupid mistakes.
