Well, I got a warning ticket* when I was about 12, for riding my bicycle on the sidewalks on Main Street (no bikes or skateboards, according to the signs). I certainly didn't have any ID on me at that time, not even a school ID, and the officer simply took my name and address. I imagine the same thing would happen today if I rode my bike down the same sidewalk. I suppose I could lie about my name but I learned long ago that I just get in trouble that way.
Several of your other examples would probably fall under jaywalking laws or something, were anyone to actually be pulled for it.
*these generally don't carry a fine, but they are official tickets and if you get enough of them you get a real one, with a nice fine.
