As to your misunderstanding of the law, you do not have the right to
remain completely silent. In most jurisdictions, it is a crime to fail to
identify yourself. Should you insist on total silence, the officer may
have no choice but to take you somewhere where you CAN be identified.


The photo-equipped license I take out of my wallet is more than sufficient
to identify me.
