I’m not sure those things go together very well. If they’re bored they’ll just pull ‘random’ people off the street. They might not be at direct risk of arrest, but it’d still waste your time.

That’s half of the reason I need to show my ID all the time :/

Edit: I’m starting to think you might be right, and there’s no direct analogue because police don’t just sit in the middle of the street hoping they’ll see some suspect if they cannot instantly compare with 40k wanted faces. No officer would be able to remember them all.

Question becomes more if it’s worth to have some people misidentified to catch the bad guys.
