You do NOT Have the Right to Remain Silent

Just so everyone knows, The Supreme Court just ruled that you must reveal your name to a police officer if you are stopped by that officer. during a "Terry Stop" (Named after the 1968 case where the court decided police may briefly detain someone on "reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing" to get information. this does not need the stronger standard of "probable cause")

Something to keep in mind.
