Identification was sufficient where a Senior Inspector produced a warrant card and confirmed the Sergeant as a police officer; the Sergeant's subjective suspicion under section 54 lawfully authorized the stop and proposed search; the appellant consented to a station search so lack of an express statement of reason did not render police conduct unlawful; a limited frisk for weapons for safety prior to transit was lawful and not merely a blind compliance with orders; consequently the conviction for obstruction (elbowing during the frisk) was supported and the appeal was dismissed.
