I've been to all 49 states and in every state if a cop stops you and ask for your drivers license you must provide it or go to jail. It even says so in the DMV book when people get their drivers license . And the same goes for DUI check points, If a cop ask for your drivers license you must provide it.
Law's is law's whether we like it or not.

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'.
The Supreme Court had been very liberal in allowing the states to skirt around the amendments.

As a fellow driver I have only had a cop stop me 3 times in 64 years, each time was for a illegal offence like speeding. I as with any other law abiding citizen gave up nothing.
