First of all, Thank You for sharing and congratulations to you for remaining calm and unfearful during this experience.
When I saw the title to the thread I began to look forward to reading about "some success" knowing that Sharing Lights has been posting here quite a while.
Having over 6000 posts on a site that aims to promote, "Know The Self, Be Thy Master, it was very disappointing to read that Sharing Lights tendered a government issued driver's license and consented to a search.
Even though each one of us has our own right and reasons for doing such, I just want to express my disappointment the same.
It appears that the tendering and consenting were done out of fear. If this is the case, my prayer is that you may have "
the peace that passes understanding" in Christ Jesus.
