Failure to present ID to the police is a crime here. The penalty is a fine, which they can't serve you if you don't give them ID.

Hmm where here , because I been told we as Americans do not have to carry ID. You do have to have a license to operate a motor vehicle, but if I am out on a walk I legally do not have to carry id.

I see well I am from Texas and reside in Oklahoma neither state allows officers to force you to show id. Why I was confused.

You don't have to carry ID, but you do have to identify yourself if a police officer has reasonable cause to stop you.

Been told we also don't have to talk to police. Only thing I would say to a police is:

Which is my name and I will tell them I am remaining silent and want a lawyer.

Sounds like a good way to get arrested. You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
