One of the reasons that they passed the ;aw is to help identify people if they have been injured and can not talk.
The other reason for the law, is so that cops have something to make an arrest, if they need to get the guys photo for future investigations. This law has been used many times to get photos of drug dealers.
But you can bet your ass it gets abused all the time.

You still need probable cause and the court keep lowering the burden of proof. I always assume the cop randomly picked me and is wanting to further his career by harrassing me.
