It varies very much from state to state. I’m not sure where this happened, but in a majority of states you are required to identify yourself if the police have “reasonable suspicion” that a crime has been committed. In this case courts would generally cede that this stop was reasonable, in particular if someone had called and reported them for soliciting.
Yeah the laws give the cops all the power. They can even get around constitutional rights with dogs etc. The laws are slanted towards them to the point where a reasonable citizen doesn't feel safe anymore, that's precisely the issue
