In all these cases you have to remember, "identify yourself" and "produce a government issued ID" are two totally different things.

Yes, I would give an officer my name if he has some good reason to ask it, I would also ask for a citation naming the law I had broken before giving it to him.... but I do not carry any phyisical ID unless I am driving a Vehicle. It is just not a legal requirement.
