So you get pulled over for speeding, I don't think thats going to work.

If you're driving, you need to have your license on your person. I'm not arguing that.

You get stopped for,IDK, drunk in public. I don't think thats going to work.

The police need to have a reasonable suspicion that you have committed an offense, before asking for ID. Washington State does not have a law that requires (Stop & Identify Law) you to show an ID, or provide your name to a LEO any time they ask it.

Under what conditions do you think you do not have to provide ID to a cop if he asks for it? Again, you don't need to provide your name or ID unless a LEO has reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. One way to clarify this is if you ask the Officer if you're being detained, or free to go.

You generally are not going to be just walking down the street and get stopped unless you do something, perhaps just jaywalking or otherwise being a doucebag. I guess you consider knocking a foam rubber ball down the street a crime?
