I don’t have to provide identification.

Seriously, you don’t have to carry identification. But if driving then you do have to have your license with you.
If you are fishing, you’d better be able to show them a license. If you don’t have one, you’d better be able to provide ID. Same with driving.
If the law confiscates your belongings, you’d better be able to prove they are yours. You’re car? Show proof of ownership. Your briefcase full of money? Do you have proof it’s your?
