No it isnt. I and numerous others on this thread have spelled it out. Learn the law.
That is the law. You can go back through the posts and find all the links I posted explaining this.
The officer only needs a reasonable cause to stop you and require your ID, but he doesn’t have to tell you and the first time, if he charges you, when you are required to be informed is when you’re arraigned.
I assume lawyers would know more about the law then you. Do you want me to post all the links again for you?
Q. WHEN ARE POLICE ALLOWED TO STOP ME AND REQUEST IDENTIFICATION?
A. As noted above, police may make a Terry stop of a person if they have reasonable suspicion that the person is engaged in illegal activity. The purpose of a Terry stop is to allow police to conduct an investigation of suspicious circumstances, and in connection with that investigation police are allowed to request that a person identify themselves. Some states have “stop and identify” laws that require persons to provide their identity and address if they are subject to a Terry stop.[14] The Supreme Court has held that under a “stop and identify” law, persons can be convicted for obstructing an investigation for refusing to identify themselves during a Terry stop if the request to identify is reasonably related to the purpose of the stop.[15] But even in places covered by “stop and identify” laws, it is not required that you provide documents showing your identity.[16]
In a state or locality that does not have a “stop and identify” law, there is no legal requirement that you identify yourself in the course of a Terry stop. A person stopped for investigation is not required to answer questions posed by the police and a refusal to answer cannot be the basis for an arrest.[17] Also, a police officer does not have the authority to search you or your belongings during a Terry stop and you should protect your Fourth Amendment rights by not consenting to a search during such a stop. If the officer has a basis for believing the person stopped has a weapon, the officer may conduct a “pat down” or “frisk” of the person’s outer clothing.[18]
Police do have the authority to request identification if they stop a vehicle after observing a traffic infraction. They may ask to see the driver’s license, the vehicle registration, and any proof of insurance.[19] The Supreme Court also has held that law enforcement may require drivers produce identification at roadside checkpoints set up to stop passing vehicles and check for compliance with licensing requirements and for driver sobriety.[20]
