You're not following my point. If you incurred a violation of course you will be asked for your license, which you should produce.

In most states you do not have to identify yourself to police. That's consistent with the 4th and 5th Amendment. However it's been ruled that somehow that doesn't apply to 'safety checkpoints'.
