Well ... there are traffic stops which WILL require an ID - a driver's license.Let me repeat myself: THERE IS NO LAW IN THE UNITED STATES REQUIRING A PERSON TO PROVIDE IDENTIFICATION. Nothing you cited states otherwise. Requiring you to identify yourself is NOT the same as requiring you to provide an ID. Why? There is no law requiring you to HAVE an ID.
And, if you want to avoid getting hooked up for even an infraction, it's a good idea to present ID ... though not required by any law, no ID on a citation can result in an arrest.
