Ron,

The Hiibel case referred specifically to an officer's power to demand ID in a post-felony investigation.

Say, you're responding to a report of an assault by a perpetrator of some description. While canvassing the area you find a person fitting such description and ask for his ID, what's going on, etc.

That's what the Hiibel case is about, ascertaining the identity of someone for whom there is probable cause committed a recent felony.

Now, some guy walking down the street scratching his ass... no, in general he doesn't have to have any form of ID, in most jurisdictions, unless a so-called vagrancy law exists. I'm not sure these have ever been challenged in court.
