Re: Warning (for Gisele) Contains anti-liberal materialWe had been out of the old address a total of two days, I was going to do it
that Saturday my day off. You have a timeframe to get it done and it is not
an infraction until you have an address to put on your license -- at least
it wasn't then. You had 30 days.

DH says that you should consider yourself lucky because it is a civil
infraction not to have the correct address on your license. So when
that happened, he probably gave a couple of questions a shot and gave
you the benefit of the doubt that you had just not gotten around to it
yet. That civil infraction, and your answer to same (not to say that
you didn't know would have provoked a different outcome), combined
with a few other things, such as a lot of air fresheners in your car,
no proof of insurance, you haven't signed your registration, etc.
(many others), can be assessed together as a reason for suspicion to
justify a search of your car -- to find out who they are dealing with.
It can also simply really only be a question pulled out of the air
just to be a question to provoke an answer--to get a person talking as
much as possible to find out if you've been drinking too, the more
talkin' a drinker does, the more a drinker gives themselves away. lol.
Also, he's pretty certain this practice was widely in place in the
70's and it has nothing to do with 9/11. There have been unlawful
drivers for eons.
I'm not saying there aren't cops out there who do pull over good-
looking blondes. Heck, some even proposition women, I'm just saying
this is sort of a parallel comparison as to how something can be
misconstrued or misunderstood, and it most definitely feeds the fire
on the "I hate cops/Ain't they got anything better to do/He was
picking on me" mentality. I was admittedly one of those. LOL.
