Very interesting stuff. Of course, she went about trying to defend her rights the wrong way. There's no point in trying that stuff with the officer. He's just doing his job. If she wants to protest the laws, she needs to do so in a court of law, not on the side of the road. Just do whatever the officer tells you (within reason) and hire a lawyer after the fact. If I'm not mistaken, if she doesn't consent to a search of the vehicle, they are required to get a warrant before they can search it. Of course, it looks like it got dark on them, so they might have done just that.
BTW, I'm not sure I see where she gets the idea that she doesn't have to give the officer her license. She does have to be able to prove that she is legally allowed to operate a vehicle on a public road, does she not? That's what the license is for. I'm surprised the officer didn't try that tact.
"Ma'am, I don't give a rat's a** who you are, but I do need proof that you are licensed to drive that car."
