I admit they probably didn't handle the situation properly, but I don't think that they went way out of line on it. The guy wasn't co-operating, so its his own damn fault. As for the girl, I don't think they should have arrested the girl, she did nothing and was obviously horrified by the situation. But about the guy, he could have just co-operated, shown them the ID, and got it over with. If he didn't have any ID, then he should have told them that.
I may not be seeing the whole picture, but the man did not seem co-operative at all. Just telling the cops that you're being co-operative doesn't make it so. He told him he was doing an investigation, and that right there is a reason enough. The guy even asked to be arrested, so what's the big deal here?
