The deputies asked for Walker’s identification and got upset and demanded he get out of the vehicle....

...a court denied bond for Walker because of outstanding warrants, including a felony probation warrant out of Fulton County for cruelty to children and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

You also don’t have to comply with a request for identification, and not complying is neither unlawful nor unconstitutional. It is also not legal to require a citizen to carry identification around with them at all times. (Whether it’s a great idea to do any of the above is a different story, but we’re talking about legality and rights.)

And there are distinctions between the two: identifying yourself, and presenting identification.

There are also distinctions between walking around and being asked, and driving around and being asked.

Yeah, driving is a separate case entirely. But if you’re walking around on the street and a cop asks you to identify yourself (without arresting you), you legally do not have to respond to him. (Again, whether this is a good idea or not is a separate discussion entirely.) You’re not allowed to lie to the officer, but you don’t have to identify yourself. I am not a lawyer, but this is what I have been told by lawyers.

Also, passengers in a vehicle do not have to present identification if they are not thought to have been driving, IIRC.
