When we take a report, we don't always require positive ID. Of course, that depends on the nature of the report. When I arrest someone and they have no ID, I have to use the name that they give me. Then, once they're fingerprinted and we get their true identity, the name they gave becomes a part of their criminal record.
Depending on the nature of the report it might be fairly simple. However it is illegal. In most states it's a misdemeanor. In some cases it could be moved up to a felony if in conjunction with a criminal offense.

Can fl extradite someone in Colorado -for the charge of knowley giving false name to law enforcement?
Generally states will only extradite someone on serious offenses. I would suggest staying in Colorado and not getting closer to Florida as then you will be detained until they decide if they want to pick you up or not. False Name to Police is generally a misdemeanor and the states don't have money to extradite someone over a crime that carries less than a year in jail.
