Yes. In that case they will probably ask you about your info, check in their system, you would get a fine for not carrying your documents, and that’s it.
A BIG difference, however, is that they will not even approach you if you are not doing something you should not be doing. In other words, they will not bother you while you’re sitting on a bench or taking a stroll. - Comment on As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused to show ID without explanation or cause. 2 days ago:

Would someone care to explain why would they not show their ID? Is it better to get detained than showing your ID, unless you have something to hide?
Anyway, in my country we are required by law to show police officers our IDs when asked.
