If you don't produce proof, is the cop supposed to take your word on it?
In Britain, yes.
Why should someone be prosecuted for not having a piece of paper in their pocket exactly?
So much for freedom eh?
"No officer, I'm not stealing this TV, I'm borrowing it from my friend" would be a good enough answer for your police? No wonder your crime rates are ridiculous.
I thought we were talking about ID, not stealing TVs.
If an officer believes a crime is being committed he can go ahead and arrest, or are you saying people should carry a proof of purchase for every item they have on them, TV, clothes, shoes, mobile, ipod etc and the Police should automatically arrest anyone who doesn't have all the paperwork?
You don't seem so keen on freedom after all.
