In the US that is a 4th amendment violation. Some states get around that by requiring convicted felons to provide ID, but in most of the US if you haven't been convicted of a felony you have no obligation to identify yourself.
Even if you're right, you have many court battles ahead if you're in a state that requires it, including likely the SCOTUS. Do you have the money and time to do this? Go for it. Most people don't. Don't help them, but also don't give them a reason to arrest you.
