You might want to read that again.

You only have to supply a DL to ID if it is in your possession. It is not required to identify. You can do it verbally was the point.

Here's the code for refusal to identify as well that spells it out as an "infraction" or "ordinance violation".

IC 34-28-5-3.5
Refusal to identify self
Sec. 3.5. A person who knowingly or intentionally refuses to provide either the person's:
(1) name, address, and date of birth; or
(2) driver's license, if in the person's possession;
to a law enforcement officer who has stopped the person for an infraction or ordinance violation commits a Class C misdemeanor.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.24.

True....You can claim that you dont have an ID or DL on you...but if "you" were to get arrested that is going to be one mean cop when he finds that license in your wallet during inventory!

As long as the info that you gave him is correct then what difference does it ultimately make if you have it on you or not. You can only be correct or not correct. Correct info doesn't get more correct just because it is on a piece of paper.

Some states in the US (including Indiana) are stop-and-identify states, which means any LEO can stop you for any reason and ask for your ID. You can't refuse to show your ID but you don't have to do anything more than that, including answer questions.

Here you go and you are correct that you only have to ID yourself, not show ID.

IC 34-28-5-3
Detention
Sec. 3. Whenever a law enforcement officer believes in good faith that a person has committed an infraction or ordinance violation, the law enforcement officer may detain that person for a time sufficient to:
(1) inform the person of the allegation;
(2) obtain the person's:
(A) name, address, and date of birth; or
(B) driver's license, if in the person's possession; and
(3) allow the person to execute a notice to appear.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.24

One of these things is not like the other..
