This is not a traffic stop.
Do the police have to have a reason to ask for identification?
Is just verbally giving your name and address enough?
Is a federal photo ID enough such as your VA card with your photo on it?
As a Police Officer I can ask you for your identification during a consensual contact. Meaning I have no legal reason to detain you.
You can refuse.
If I a legal reason to detain you you have to produce identification or else I can take you to jail and let the Deputies figure out who you are.
Verbally giving your name and address does not work because you could say anything and believe it or not people lie!
Yes your VA card would be acceptable.
