That's generally why you're only required to provide ID to police in the US (at least in a car. Don't think you can force anyone off the street to show ID). The right to remain silent, or to deny entry into your home cannot put you on a Arrest list.

Of course, all this assume US police have consequences for breaking the rules. So this is unfortunately moot.

No difference at all from the US here. If a police officer in the US recognizes you as being someone for whom there is an outstanding arrest warrant then they can arrest you. And of course, they could be mistaken.

You act less arrest warrants these days stop the police from arresting someone. That's part of the problem.
