If I rear end someone and they call the cops, I can just refuse to identify myself?

My original post was made in jest but if you exchange info with the other driver, why would the police officer need your license? For their report? If you tell the other driver you were driving the car, why does it have to be repeated in the police report? Does the officer verify the status of your insurance? Do they check the registration to make sure it’s current?

Louisiana should have clear guidance on when someone is required to identify themselves.

I really dont know thats why I was asking. I just assume if I get in a wreck, the officer is going to need my license to write a report for the person I hit. Ive only been in one legit wreck and I honestly dont even know what we did.

Because why should anyone believe you are who you say you are? La rs 32:398 has the answers you seek.

I for one don't trust cops. When I was living in Montgomery a drunk illegal was driving and he hit three parked cars. He then knocked a telephone pole down on our neighbor's brand new truck. He purchased the truck a week before the illegal damaged the truck. Three black females were chasing the drunk driver because the illegal side swiped their mom's parked car that was parked in their driveway. After the illegal knocked the pole down, he jumped out and ran to a house down the street. That house had a Hispanic family living in it.The cop comes and checks the license plate on the illegal's car. He also runs fifteen driver licenses that the illegal left on his front seat. Everything the cop checked in the illegal's car was bogus. My neighbor and the black girls tell the cop where the illegal is and they wanted him arrested. Cop claims that he can't arrest the illegal because he didn't see the drunk behind the wheel of the car he was driving. The cop threatened me because I made the statement that if the drunk driver was black he would knock the door down to arrest him. I started to ask a question but the cop told me to shut up. I was going to ask how in the hell do you investigate traffic accidents in Bama if you need to see the driver behind the wheel of the car.
