However, if you are someone in this situation, couldn't you state your fifth amendment right to remain silent and walk away? If questioned ask if you are under official criminal investigation and if they say no then leave? Would it be smarter to produce your real ID or claim you don't have ID on you?
Whenever a police officer requests to see your ID, especially if they have reasonable suspicion for any criminal activity (like underage drinking), you are required to produce your correct, legal ID. Refusing could result in a charge for obstruction and if you do not produce an ID or enough information to accurately ID you, a trip to jail is likely for further investigation into who you are.
