If the police establish contact with you they will want to confirm your identity. There are several reasons for this. If you're stopped for an infraction the police will run your name to see if you have any active warrants. Often, if not frequently, the police will let you go after establishing your identity and the fact that there are no warrants for your arrests. That is, if you're polite, not obsequious, mind you, just polite. You be very surprised at the number of felony warrants encountered by police during routine interactions.
