There is no law in California that you must provide ID, but there is a gray area that you can't interfere with an investigation and some police use this as a tool to force people to provide ID.

That is not accurate.

The law in CA states that police can't just walk up to people and demand ID if there is no probable cause.

If someone is involved in an investigation, by CA law, the police have the right to ID that person. And if that person does not provide ID, the police have the right to detain that person in order to confirm their ID, by law.

So there is no gray area where she might be right.
