I understand
You've been running with the man
That goes by the name
Of the sandman

I have decided that this will be my interaction:

"yes, officer I do have a LTCH it is in my left rear pocket. Here it is [STRIKE]and here is my DL[/STRIKE]. Nope, not offended at all since I am a responsible legally carrying person. I do appreciate you checking. Too many illegal carrying felons out there. Thanks again. Be safe!"

Conversation is over in 5 mins...no offended ....I go on my merry way.

I don't have anything to hide nor to prove. Not only that, a respectable conversation on friendly terms does more to convince others who are in ear shot, how legally responsible we are. Had I been at the convenient store getting coffee and my above conversation had happened, the store owner and othe patrons would hve seen the friendly result by the police giving some confidence and credibility to me for future visits to the store.

This has happened on several occasions (sans the LEO) but with store personnel who view me as friendly and respectble.

Again, nothing to hide nor to prove.

FTFY. You should not provide your ID with your LTCH. They can't demand it and they don't need it.

OK this has been mostly a healthy discusion. Let me ask ya'll this then....I know they cant ask for your DL and I will say the majority say you have to hand of the LTCH. With that said how can the LEO know it is in fact you on the pink slip? After all the picture is on the DL. Pink slip just has your name etc. How would said LEO know it was in fact you?

Does he have any reason to believe it is NOT you on the slip? If not, move along.

Because THIS is the way the state has chosen to handle the situation. Unless he has specific reason to have suspicions that it is not you then there is nothing he can do to buck state law.

He could always ask you! You'd be honest...........wouldn't you????

 

[Rookie]

He can take your info (provided on the LTCH) and look up your picture on his computer.

Why would I have someone else's pink slip?

Not as easy/common as you think.

Not as easy/common as you think.

But I thought we lived in a police state where cops have all of our info at their finger tips! I feel so disillusioned now.

They CAN ask for your drivers license! What makes you think they can't?

 

[Dirtebiker]

Because yours is in the laundry?

They can ask for pizza too, doesn't mean they are getting it

 

[Lex Concord]

I don't get the whole "it's a license not a permit" argument here. No matter what the actual text is, our little pink card is a permission slip. It's semantics at best.

Why didn't I think of that? Thanks.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

*makes nakinate levitate*
There. How's that for a new illusion?

 

[Mr. Habib]

They can ask me for a date also. I'm not legally required to provide either one.

 

[AndersonIN]

They can ask for your debit card and pin # too! If I'm NOT driving you ain't seeing it! I don't even have to have a driver's license period so why should I be REQUIRED to show it????
