they said in the last paragraph that a situation could arise where such did violate the 5th Amendment.
I can think of a couple situations where identifying could be incriminating. Suppose you escaped from prison or violated parole/probation by being found where you are standing? Then identifying yourself would be self-incrimination.
The same would be true if Osama bin Laden had been Terry stopped somewhere in the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks. Giving his name would produce an immediate response. For that matter, someone with the same name arguably would be risking their life if they identified themselves as such.
