Was it OK for him to refuse to give his name or show identification when asked? He should remember that he's a public SERVANT. Not a professional bully. Macho posturing has no place in the job. Seems he did everything to exacerbate the situation while not following appropriate procedure.
Charges or not, he deserves firing without pension or at best a desk job. And again, I will side with a productive scientist over some cowboy on the dole any day.
Would it be so horrible if every officer was required to initiate a traffic stop by showing their badge and introducing him/her self as Officer so-and-so of the such-and-such police department? At least with state troopers in NJ and PA, this seems to be standard procedure and would cut down on issues like this.
