I think you may be asking the wrong question. A police officer can ask you to do anything they want. Its up to you to ask a question back (or conditionally accept) ie.
Officer: "Show me some "ID".
you: "May I see some Identification?" (they are required to by their own law)
Officer: "This car/badge/uniform is identification anough."
you: "Are you refusing to Identify yourself?"
and so on?

∙ 13y agoA police officer can ask for anything, for any reason or no reason at all. He can demand to see your identification only if he has appropriate grounds, which are too varied to list here.
If a police officer asks you for your identification and you aren't inclined to provide it, you can ask (politely), "May I ask why you want to see my identification?" If you aren't satisfied with the answer, ask "Am I free to leave?" If he answers anything but "yes," you are being detained, which requires at least reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.
