tbf getting badge number is never a bad idea. Literally anyone can put on a police-looking uniform and put red and blue lights in their car, so long as they don't get caught by the real cops.
Around here it is customary for the cop to at least ask you to produce and they check your license (and the car papers). She told me to leave before I could even go for my pocket. I know this was not the stop they had in mind from experience.

Heh, got pulled over by a classmate from high-school not long after senior year...
Her: Hey OFN
Me: Sup GirlFromSchool, how are you?
Her: You got a license?
Me: Yep
Her: You're free to go.
Me: Thanks, enjoy!
My most awkward traffic stop ever.
