Small Victory for Driving Rights- Agree with Thine Enemy

[farmer_giles_of_ham]

A few years ago I managed to get myself charged with 'display foreign license while under domestic suspension' (my paraphrase). I had an IDP off the internet, which was accepted by the police as valid, since they charged me for using it while also suspended on the domestic 'in-state' license. I call that a victory, we all agreed I held a valid foreign driver permission.

On that note, maybe this tactic could be useful- when pulled over declare oneself to be a 'foreign driver with valid permit from home state or country', and explicitly refuse to 'exhibit' the paper license. Get yourself charged with 'refusal to exhibit', under the duty of 'operators'. This is different from the domestic provision, 'required to display or exhibit', for domestic operators. In PA the one has a 40$ fine and the other a 200$. Plead guilty and pay the fine on the spot, small potatoes. Now you have legal proof that you hold a driver license, since you were charged with refusal to exhibit- you must have had one, right, in order to have refused to show it. Unless they just let you go anyway.

Like it says in the Bible, agree with the adversary on the way to the court and ride the wave, or something to that effect.
