Some people do and some don’t. No matter, they were in a park following the rules.

“he refused to provide his identification to three police officers“
Is that legal in America? If a police officer asks you to identify yourself, do you have to?

"However, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states are permitted to require people to truthfully state their name when a police officer asks them;[citation needed] about half of the states have enacted some variant of stop and identify statutes requiring compliance with such police inquiries. In some states, such as California, failure to produce an identification document upon citation for any traffic infraction (such as riding a bicycle on the wrong side of a street) is sufficient justification for full custodial arrest.[7]"Frau Holle wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 2:05 pm “he refused to provide his identification to three police officers“

There is no law that says you have to carry identification with you. In some states it's illegal to not give the police your name if they ask to identify yourself.Frau Holle wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 2:05 pm “he refused to provide his identification to three police officers“

Here he would have been in violation as all public parks, playgrounds, ball diamonds, soccer fields, are closed.

It doesn't seem like it was worth it. He should have made a complaint later on, without his 6 year old child in attendance, if it bothered him that much he was questioned by police about being in the park. Instead he and the police escalated a stupid situation because each side decided they were right and refused to back down. On a side note, it never goes well when a person refuses to identify themselves to a police officer when asked. There was no reason to do that and now he's on their radar. It might not be right but using his brain instead of what he did would have worked better for him.
