Just a personal opinion - - -
Giving your Identification Card (in the USA your driving license is the de facto card) does not In Any Way mean the encounter will be shorter. All you have done is provided the officer with something you want back and he can "hold hostage." What are you going to do, walk away without a driving license?
If state law mandates it, then you have no choice; if you Do have a choice retain your personal papers at all costs.
