In this case, RID or not shouldn't even be a factor in determining that there is a problem. Once RID is in effect, even an RID equipped drone is not legally allowed to be flying over the superbowl, or over a fire or emergency situation or.... many other sensitive areas where sUAS flight is not allowed.
True, but a RID equipped drone would tell the local LEOs who's drone it is and where to go to arrest the person that flew/allowed the drone to fly in the restricted airspace, that is unless the address is "counterfeited" and that would lead to a whole other can of worms
