What if revealing your name might incriminate you? Doesn't the 5th amendment give every person the right to remain silent? If they want to know who you are, they can get a warrant and search you for your ID.
Of course, this would imply that in the future, every person would be required to have an official ID and carry it with them wherever they go. You already have to have an official ID to drive a car, as part of the "privilege".
Imagine if someone in our founder's day had decided people should be required to have a license in order to ride a horse? It is unthinkable.
Incremental-ism - inch by inch, and step by step......your papers, please.
More likely.
In other words, "we expect terrorists who may be planning on acts of subversion, sedition and sabotage to be otherwise truthful when confronted by police." In any event, I'm sure that moslems will be exempted before the bill reaches final form.
Nope, not anymore. SCOTUS weighed in with Hiibel v Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada
Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004), held that statutes requiring suspects to identify themselves during police investigations did not violate either the Fourth or Fifth Amendments. Under the rubric of Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), the minimal intrusion on a suspect's privacy and the legitimate need of law enforcement officers to quickly dispel suspicion that an individual is engaged in criminal activity justified asking a suspect to identify himself.

Only after you are in custody and/or charged with a crime.
Until that they can demand some id.
OTOH, if you were riding a horse and lost control of it the horse didn't have a tendency to cause thousands of dollars of damage to someone else's property along with severe injury and/or death to others.
