Comment on Is it worth becoming a Confidential Informant in Chicago where I am currently stationed? I was told by a cop that if I need to or can't afford a reckless driving charge I can become a CI?

  You’re generally required to provide identification if you’re arrested and in some US states police can compel you to identify yourself under certain other circumstances, but otherwise yes, in the US you are never required to talk to police beyond this.
