There is no right to refuse answers to question like “what is your name and address’ upon arrest.

Then why does the miranda warning start off with you have the right to remain silent? Or are you telling me that this right you are being informed of is not actually a right, that the police are lying every time they make an arrest?

You have the right to remain silent when asked to answer questions that may INCRIMINATE you. You also may exercise the right to refuse booking questions that may tend to IDENTIFY you. However, then, the magistrate in whose jurisdiction you are arrested and charged with a crime, may also revoke your right to be released, pending araignment. Common law...common sense...and in most cases STATUTORILY PRUDENT AND REASONABLE.
Think about it. Get back to me. I’ll explain more, if necessary!
