It's still pretty shitty, though. What cause did he have to ask for ID? Seeing a young kid in a modified Honda? Sounds like profiling.
Though yes, if he asked for ID, you have to provide it. Anything else, such as a search, would have to be with either consent or probable cause.
Of course, if you had friends in the back seat that should be going to jail, then he probably SHOULD have searched! That's exactly the sort of thing he's looking for... anything potentially illegal.
It's sad when profiling actually works...
