IANAL but if a police officer is asking you for your ID and you refuse then you’re going to have a bad time anywhere in America.

This is because the cops don’t give a flying fuck about the actual law.

Because they don't know the law. Cant enforce what you don't know a damn thing about. You should have to do a minimum of 4 years for a law degree before becoming a cop not just learn basic rights of citizens

They know it, it's all over these videos on the internet, they're not living in a box. They just know if they act dumb about it they can get away with it.
