A.    Any person lawfully detained by a peace officer for investigatory questioning shall upon request of a peace officer, produce identification sufficient to indicate his name and date of birth or place of residence. A verbal or written statement of name and birth date or residence address shall constitute sufficient identification.

    B.    Any person refusing to produce sufficient identification as defined in subsection A shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment; provided, nevertheless, such violation may be deemed an infraction as defined by Section 19C of the California Penal Code and charged as such under the discretion and at the election of the prosecuting attorney. In such event the punishment therefor shall not be imprisonment but a fine not to exceed the amount specified by Government Code Section 36900 as then in effect. (Ord. 459 § 22, 1991: prior code § 14-9)
