The premise of your post in misleading and a lie, any person with half a Brain can see that.
You posted under “Israel's Way of Showing Hospitality to American Tourists”.
Let me say this again since it seems you have a hard time understanding basic english. In any western country or democracy when an officer of the law asks you for identification you are obligated to give it to him. This kid refused when asked politely and got arrested.
In NYC if you refused to show an officer your ID, you would get tasered before they let your spend the night in jail.
Go find something intelligent to post and stop wasting our time.

Consensual
At any time, police may approach a person and ask questions. The objective may simply be a friendly conversation; however, the police also may suspect involvement in a crime, but lack “specific and articulable facts”[4] that would justify a detention or arrest, and hope to obtain these facts from the questioning. The person approached is not required to identify themself or answer any other questions, and may leave at any time.[5] Police are not usually required to tell a person that she is free to decline to answer questions and go about her business;[6] however, a person can usually determine whether the interaction is consensual by asking, “Am I free to go?”[7][8]

Really, you think?
The New York state stop and identify law reads:
"In addition to the authority provided by this article for making an arrest without a warrant, a police officer may stop a person in a public place located within the geographical area of such officer's employment when he reasonably suspects that such person is committing, has committed or is about to commit either (a) a felony or (b) a misdemeanor defined in the penal law, and may demand of him his ID, name, address and an explanation of his conduct."
So while you may not actually be doing anything illegal, if the officer reasonably suspects that you are, have, or about to, they can stop you and ask you identify yourself. The Supreme Court has held that you must give a name. The police officer can be mistaken, but you must still comply.
You have been served

Go ahead show me how intelligent you are...
Try debating that when an officer of the law asks you for identification in any country in the world you are obligated to give it to him, and if you dont you get arrested...
