refusing to give ID
Is it legal to refuse to give ID to a police officer? For example, if I'm riding in a car with a friend who is pulled over for speeding, if the cop asks for my identification am I legally obligated to provide it? Am I required to answer any questions asked by the policeman?

The Supreme Court just answered this question within the last two weeks; YES you have to identify yourself.
