   To borrow from a friend, you couldn't be more wrong if you covered   
   yourself in wrong musk and ran naked into a field of horny wrongs.   
      
   There is no such thing as "stopped but not seized." A stop is a   
   seizure. The Terry opinion is not ambiguous on this point.

   Hiibel applies everywhere. It's *particularly* important in states   
   without a "provide ID on demand" statute.

   Of course not.

   It prevents police from arresting you for refusing to identify   
   yourself absent the relevant factors. I see a good number of police   
   bodycam videos where they stop a driver for a traffic infraction (OK),   
   demand the driver ID himself (totally OK), *then demand ID of the   
   passenger and arrest him if he refuses* (very not OK). What Hiibel   
   does is a) declare unambiguously that the passenger has a right to   
   refuse to identify himself and b) make it so that a citizen so wronged   
   has unambiguous recourse under ยง 1983.
