Sometimes you get 'that feeling' and run a plate. I did that this AM. The tag info that came back didn't match the vehicle it was displayed on(car had been repainted), so......
After making the stop, radioing my location, details about the car, asking if the plate's been reported stolen, etc, etc, etc.....I get out, press the trunk lid and go up to meet the driver.
I ask for her DL and...
Driver: I don't have one.
Me: Whatdaya mean you don't have one?
Her: I keep failing the DL exam.....
Soooooooo......
Me to passenger: Sir, do you have a DL?(Thinking that I'll just write her a ticket for 'No DL' and let the passenger drive)
Passenger: Yes, but.....
Turns out he was still in possession of a REVOKED DL, hence the 'reason' for him being the passenger, not the driver.
Soooo.....I confiscate his DL and give him a receipt for it.
The driver gets a $100 ticket for 'No DL' and $100 ticket for 'Failure to Provide Proof of Insurance'.
Not wanting to come off as a totally heartless individual, I offer to make a phone call for someone ELSE to come drive the car...which I do. And 'NO', I did NOT wait around......
