Dude, it's in your citation: it does NOT permit officers to use violence to achieve identification. They are paid by the hour to wait for a warrant to clear. Anything beyond that is unlawful use of force.
No offense, but do you have a degree in law? Or any training at all? Or are you just making things up? Please respond
I searched for "violence" in both citations and did not find this statement.
Refusing to ID (edit: if you're stopped for a certain list of reasons, which includes "a traffic stop on the road" as probably the most unambiguous no-wiggle-room one of them) is an arrestable offence. Police do not need an arrest warrant if the crime is literally committed in front of them, to their face, and they're allowed to use force to effect the arrest.
I think your degree in Bird Law needs updating. I'm not really interested in having an extended he-said-she-said about it, people can read the citations (or investigate the literally thousands of YouTube videos which depict examples of the "ID pls->no->get out->no->window break->ohmygawd->arrest" story arc), and decide what they want to believe about how it works.
