I'll try to find the case. It might be that they aren't obligated to tell you why you are being arrested, but then I can't see that not also applying to the reason for a stop. I'll see if I can find it.
If the order is lawful depends on the state law. I was googling and at least in Washington the law makes no mention of the reason for the stop, just that if you are stopped you are obligated to provide ID and insurance. Then, would an illegal stop get you out of that charge since you didn't know it was illegal when he made the request? Not sure. In any case you aren't in a position to know if the order was lawful or not when the request was made, so it could be argued that you would still be on the hook for refusing to provide ID.
generally statutory offenses being applied or dropped is tied to the actual crime. one exception being resisting arrest. if you injure an officer trying to arrest you even if the charges for the arrest get dropped you still injured an officer. in the case of ID with there being no harm done i'd bet in almost all cases charges would be dropped.
>officer makes illegal stop without reasonable suspicion
>citizen asks why they were pulled over
>cop declines to say why
>citizen declines to show ID
>cop arrests for lack of ID shown
>court finds stop didnt meant reasonable suspicion requirement for Terry stop
>charges for ID declining dropped
in all cases the charge or no charge hinges on the reasonable or unreasonable nature of the stop. and can be instantly cleared up without an arrest by the officer telling why the person was stopped. and a dick officer could decline (maybe) knowing they're within reasonable suspicion (that's not actually that hard) and arrest the person on no ID charges then investigate their reasonable suspicion.

true, but
I was just listing the ones violated in this story about someone having their right to bear arms violated because of their political affiliation, after a search and seizure with no probable cause and in a court that affords them no due process or rights at trial much less a jury of their peers. Wasn't because he was black
cops involved = skin color matters. duh goomshill. get woke cuz
