Do I have to ask about reason for detention and at what point I ask for lawyer? Seems that you have experience in this topic.
If you are being questioned regarding a crime which has been committed , ask them specifically if they have either "reasonable suspicion" , or "probable cause" to suspect you of committing said crime. If they say no, you do not have to give them your name, or answer any of their questions. If they say yes, say nothing except you want a lawyer, and NOTHING else. Car stops are different, if they stopped you in the first place, it's because you committed a traffic violation, and they already have probable cause. In that case, you are required to cooperate* i.e. give i.d., otherwise you could possibly face obstruction charges. But that does not mean you can't ask them why they stopped you, and you don't always have to submit to a search. It depends on the circumstances.
They can't stop your car just to check your ID in US without any prior traffic violations?
No, at least not in my state, with a few exceptions. It may be different in other states. Stopping a car for the purpose of checking an I.D. alone is considered a violation of the 4th amendment of the constitution, and an unreasonable search and seizure. They must observe you committing a traffic violation first, or something must be wrong with your vehicle, i.e. expired registration, headlight out etc. One exception however, is if the person operating the vehicle is known to the police to have a want, warrant, suspended license, etc. and an officer recognizes them while operating a vehicle. I'm sure there are other exceptions as well, but i don't know then all.
