I've heard about such cases, and in fact North Carolina (where I am) "requires" all drivers to have their card on their person while driving. A friend of mine was pulled without his, and they gave him 30 days to produce it, and finally agreed just to look it up on the computer when he produced 2 other valid forms of ID. But then again, in North Carolina the family Bible is a valid form of ID (as well as a completed work _application_, and other odities). --Deviant PGP KeyID = E820F015 Fingerprint = 3D6AAB628E3DFAA9 F7D35736ABC56D39 They seem to have learned the habit of cowering before authority even when not actually threatened. How very nice for authority. I decided not to learn this particular lesson. -- Richard Stallman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQEVAwUBMsdSYDCdEh3oIPAVAQEP+Af7BHDT43r700Q1lb2Ioc2RjfS9+eDIxtLn f+bhWqsk3YpIpCVenYHr23PzSvnHBIztHpNMM0HEsFRZOHzQjuQ9QSEOzBgehmon P4wJURbQIH4lIpcH4VQUFfHuU/yT5ZPaSGrNvXYnEIyZFRyvu5XnZyynKes344/v TmQ7Wj5KIiYtmp7AJ+QIEJuCeGVJaSNbjj2ibmMyHf3tyhk7nQjtiWmGSYx0Dq8H 6hKrRLI4QzqKnsAYwrWFO9MZBXQGgLm5CGZAVgexr73AtfcTJyBLio+kaFQBws7e VkPtZzCo3o+jGbu5XLt4TJoLgr5BMIL6cxDGmbCko9ALzzYfMixJJA== =/IRS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
