Once you're arrested you do - else you get a fail to ID - refusal charge (Class C Misd)
Yeah, I wasn't talking about AFTER arrest. Just talking about the statutes listed. By the way, I presume those are Texas statutes, the video was from Santa Fe NM.

(b) A person commits an offense if he intentionally gives a false or fictitious name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has:

(3) requested the information from a person that the peace officer has good cause to believe is a witness to a criminal offense.
They cannot ask for your ID just because.
Note that those statutes only state that it's illegal to give a "false or fictitious name". It does NOT say you have to produce a valid ID, or give them your name -- you just can't lie about it.
