And who's going to make these arrests?

Make arrests by police that don't identify themselves or their badge number ineligible for jail time, and their statements should be ineligible in court. Police don't want detainees getting off free and wasting their time? Guess the body cam needs to be on when you declare their arrest and your badge number.

Tie state and municipal police department bonuses, benefits, and overtime pay to adherence to identification policy. Department has credible reports of violations and fails to properly investigate, discipline, or fire the offending officers? Sorry, your department is ineligible for their usual handouts this quarter. Your department is doing a good job policing themselves in good faith? Looks like someone's getting all that leftover bonus money.
