If you are walking down the street not breaking any laws and a police officer asks to see your driver's license do you have to show it to them? do you have to stop and talk to them?

Re: confronting police
if you aren't doing anything, they have no right to stop you. Doesn't mean they won't.
And, if you then GIVE them a reason to arrest you, they certainly will.
We don't yet live in a Gestapo state, but that doesn't mean they won't try it. Have a local lawyer on your cell phone and call him for backup.
