"in 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Nevada law that says cops can bust you for withholding an ID, if they have reasonable suspicion you were involved in a crime." |
The article is wrong, and Nevada has no such law. The Hiibel case was around whether the plaintiff was required to identify himself, not produce ID.
From the Wiki page on stop and identify statues (which also properly cites the exact statements made by the Nevada and US Courts):
"The Court understood the Nevada statute to mean that a detained person could satisfy the Nevada law by simply stating his name."
