That would seem to be prima facie evidence that the officers were justified in asking for ID.

Nope. Read it again.

968.24 Temporary questioning without arrest. After having identified himself or herself as a law enforcement officer, a law enforcement officer may stop a person in a public place for a reasonable period of time when the officer reasonably suspects that such person is committing, is about to commit or has committed a crime, and may demand the name and address of the person and an explanation of the person’s conduct. Such detention and temporary questioning shall be conducted in the vicinity where the person was stopped.

Don't see anything here about producing identification. You do have to identify yourself if they ask, but said identification can be verbal.

And that is an important point. WHAT level of ID must be produced in order to satisfy the law?

Bart Snerdley, 123 Main St. Mytown USA *should* be sufficient!
