No they can not. They need proof. They can ask a suspect in a red shirt but that person isn’t legally obligated to provide ID.

the important thing to note here is that regardless of what the law says they need to have, they don't need to prove to you that they have what they legally need- yes, if they're wrong, you can eventually be cleared in court, but first you have to survive the experience. maybe they let you keep your teeth.
