Again, they have to have a reason to ask; if they don’t, you can turn them down. However, you have no way of knowing if their request is legitimate or not. Playing games like asking, “is this a request or an order” is a good way to make the stop go as badly as possible for you and the other people in the car. I generally tell people to just show their ID unless they have a really good reason not to.
