Police officer asks "Can I see your ID?". He is allowed to do this.
If you say "no" then he can not make you produce ID or punish you in any way unless he has probable cause to believe you are involved in criminal activity.
He is allowed to ask. He is not allowed to make you comply.
In fact almost every time an officers asks if he can search your car he has no authority to make you submit to the search. People just don't know they can so "No" to a police officer. Generally if they have the authority to search without your permission they don't even bother to ask.
