Depending on the issue (infraction or investigation), will ask for
personal info, then verify with records. If it's an infraction, they can
actually detain until they verify the info. If an investigation, they
can also verify but can't detain until verification.

I am guessing that the issue will soon become moot because of
electronic/biometric means of identification: point the camera, push the
button, and back comes the person's info.


Almost but unless one has a criminal record, photos wouldn't be readily
available. Much other info is obtainable, which is why they will usually
discover if one is lying.

I'm pretty sure that if they got Big Data involved, they could assemble
a pretty good database out of Facebook photos and whatnot, so they could
have a database that would include people without driver's licenses.
