From the Highway Traffic Act

165 Any person crossing or walking on a highway in a manner
contrary to this Act or any municipal bylaw regulating pedestrian
traffic shall, on request, give that person's name and address to any
peace officer who so requests.
RSA 1980 cH-7 s165

So the transit cop is ok to ask her name and address but apparently he can't ask for actual identification. Have not looked at case law or other leg. yet.
