They clearly didn't need his school ID to figure out that he was the proper resident of the home. Drivers licenses in just about every state have the home address printed on them. That was more than enough.



I don't see what sort of different light there could be. He was belligerent towards a police officer. His race probably had no bearing on the fact that he was arrested... but you can go ahead and assume otherwise if you like.
1. if the house is owned by harvard, then yes, he would need to show that as well.

2. Apparently it wasn't enough because the cops continued to haggle him about it.

And yes, a different light would be thinking that maybe, just maybe, this isn't such a simple case of being belligerent towards a police officer.
