Same thing happened to me at IHOP, they threatened to call the police, I told them go ahead, there’s no law requiring me to show an ID to them either, and I don’t have one on me, so if you want to get paid I suggest you take my card. The police can try to arrest me but the charges will get dropped as the merchant didn’t comply with the rules, I wasn’t refusing to pay, they were refusing to accept the payment.

All they can do is to keep your credit card and verify your signature. Actually, most of credit card issuers require that merchants should not check your ID at checkout. The reason is very simple: if you show your ID and credit card to a store clerk, you’re potentially to be an identity theft victim. However, the truth is you are frequently asked to show your photo ID to a store clerk at checkout. The retailers seem this is a good strategy to avoid losses from fraud. (Once a credit card fraud happens, retailers will take the cost while card members will be protected by laws.) You’d better think twice before showing your driver’s license.
