A famous Supreme Course case (Hiibel) said that a state could make it a crime for you to not properly identify yourself. No such law exists for not carrying some official ID.
I'd be surprised Florida has a must-carry-ID law. More than likely whatever case was mentioned above had to do with the guy not identifying himself. That's different than carrying ID.

148. (a) (1) Every person who willfully resists, delays, or
obstructs any public officer, peace officer, or an emergency medical
technician, as defined in Division 2.5 (commencing with Section 1797)
of the Health and Safety Code, in the discharge or attempt to
discharge any duty of his or her office or employment, when no other
punishment is prescribed, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding
one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail
not to exceed one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
Refusing to provide ID could result in that.
