IDs that dont belong to you are contraband or theft (depending on the case) on its own since theyre obviously not yours.
So you admitted that you confiscated it from a marine and then headed down to the planet?
There's little in Marine Law about the SOP for a MP coming across something that might be considered contraband but:
If illegal items are found, secure them until the search is complete. Should this be impossible, request that another MP assist you by taking the items to Evidence Storage.
and
Search the area for evidence and ensure all evidence is secured.
Restore the searched area to its previous state as closely as possible.
Reopen the area to normal traffic and take all evidence to the brig for processing.
as we can see from the search procedures, all evidence or illegal items should be taken to the evidence locker at the first opportunity. Nothing is said about a MP having the ability to hold on to either contraband or evidence indefinitely .
By failing to place the ID, which was evidence or contraband, in the evidence locker and instead heading down to the surface, you have committed the crime of Possession of Contraband yourself.
Heading down to the surface to fight xenos, considering the amount of unrest on the ship and the lack of a direct command to deploy from the aCO or WO, is a charge of Neglect of Duty. You also left out the part where you dressed up as a marine when you were on the ground, which can be construed as either Theft and Unauthorized Weapon, depending on the circumstances.

Dude, I dont care if you like MPs or not. Theres certain instructions I have to follow when playing that role. As in that’s the job you chose for that round.
There are instructions you have to follow as a MP, but it seem like you only follow them when it suits you. You were quite fine with arresting any and all marines involved with the mutiny, but when the WO gives amnesty to the mutineers you leave your post and go down to the planet to shoot xenos? You fuck off cause you can't baton anymore? Seems like standard shitcurity behavior to me. If you did not want to continue playing the round, there is always the choice of cryo. (a choice that the marines don't always have) If you dislike the WO's actions, take it up with High Command. You admit to breaking marine law and in the same post admonish others for breaking laws, as if you were above it all.
You seem to have forgotten the rule given to MPs, so I'll put it here to remind you:
15. Military Police - All Military Police jobs can never break Marine Law themselves, but they are not required to enforce Marine Law 100% of the time unless ordered by a superior.
