Re: What constitutes request for ID?

As it was explained to me, this was to prevent any unwanted reactions by the officer during the course of the contact should he observe you to be armed. I may have misunderstood this as a requirement vs a recommendation. Living in the countryside, most of the local LEO are at least familiar enough to where I don't have to worry much about it. However I do have to travel through Houston on a monthly basis, so I would feel better to know for sure. Thanks!
The only time you have to show ID is when an LEO asks for ID. Coming into contact can have a lot of interpretations, you don't have to identify yourself in casual contact (donut shop, etc.) only during official contact where the officer asks for ID.
