Do I Have To Provide ID in a Stop & ID State?

“Stop and identify” statutes are statutory laws in the United States that authorize police to legally obtain the identification of someone whom they reasonably suspect of having committed a crime. If there is no reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, is being committed, or is about to be committed, an individual is not required to provide identification, even in “Stop and ID” states. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_and_identify_statutes
