Arrested might be too strong a word, but the cops will probably make you wait until proof of your identity comes in. Unless some family member shows up promptly with something persuasive, like your passport or real DL, don't be surprised if the cops do this at a snail's pace. Even if you are identified, if you can't prove you have a valid current DL, they might not let you drive yourself away.
I have heard that in California, the cops carry a stamp pad and make any driver without his DL put his thumbprint on the stub of the traffic ticket; that way if he doesn't show up in court they've got something to work with to bring him in. I don't know if California is satisfied with this experiment or if other states will try the same.
In any case, the outcome will not be convenient to you.
And the McLaughlin decision did uphold the reasonableness of a 36-hour maximum between arrest and arraignment. If someone's as rude to the cop as I've seen suggested on other threads, they'll get a chance to see how quickly a full 36 hours can creep by.

I have done that more than once. It is no fun but effective.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
8-1417. "Driver's license" defined. "Driver's license" means any license to operate a motor vehicle issued under the laws of this state.

Here is how you issue your own driver license. When handing the State of Kansas driver license to a police officer say, "I am not giving you this for identification purposes. I am only showing you that I am competent to operate a motor vehicle."

P.S. Get a certificate of search on your true name (First Middle), in upper and lower case letters, from the clerk of court at the US district court where you live. File that at your county clerk and recorder and give that to the police officer to identify yourself.
