Wow man that sucks!

 

You knew you were missing your ID and you purposely went through a cop checkpoint?

 

And I don't understand the whole story here. What was the blockade for, and why would they arrest you on the spot? Did you have a towel around your head too?

 

I can't believe that no one has asked you this already but... WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR 9 YEAR OLD NIECE?

 

Sounds extremely harsh for simply not having your ID. I recognize the need for people to carry their IDs, but.............

 

Usually when you get pulled and you have forgotten your license, which happens. They just give you warning to always carry it.

 

a-holes man!

 

ok, thios is one of those "there has to be more to the story" instances.

Sounds to me like they were doing a sobriety or seat belt checkpoint and you decided you didn't want to wait and tried to go around.

Dunno. Just seems like there are a LOT of holes in that story. They don't lock you up for a day for not having your license with you. And resisting arrest isn't tossed out easily either.

 

Is it me or am I the only person that dosen't think we live in South Africa and have to carry your papers at all times to identify who you are. I am constantly noticing people who freak out when they don't have their ID on them. I have always known my license number and given it out to cops when i'm pulled over if I don't have my ID on me.

They then go to the car and pull up a picture of me and can verify the info.

Am I wrong in my thinking, is their actually a law that you have to have your license on you....or do you just have to HAVE a valid license?

Didn't mean to offend anyone from South Africa, just a saying I use.

 

I've been pulled over with a broken tail light, no license, expired registration, and no insurance card and I didn't even get a warning.. I was only told to bring my insurance into the station the following morning you got screwed.
