When asked for ID by law enforcement, you are required to hand it over, if you have it on you anyways. I don’t remember the particulars, but a man and his daughter were arguing on the man’s property, and refused to produce ID when the cops showed up. It went all the way to the SC where the man lost...JFK

You are not required to produce ID on demand.

The case you incorrectly cite is Hiibel v Nevada wherein the police were responding to a report of a domestic incident and on that basis were empowered to do what is know as a Terry Stop and demand ID.

If there had been no incident report then there would have been no reasonable grounds for the stop and the demand fot ID.
