Yeah, it was probably some rookie cop flexing his muscles. Big headed, egotistic putzes.

I know a rookie cop that will give a lot of warnings (verbal) for seeing the same shit he did/does unless.....the person is being an ass. Then......he flexes his muscles. So for what it's worth, if you (an ass) drives through a county (mine) you'll probably get a ticket.
 
Go to court and tell them you installed an Audi brake pedal and it applied the gas, worked for a dozen other Audi owners.
Sounds like $139 worth of ass chewin' coming.
Just be glad he didn't cut a corner off your license....

I believe that is an Boy Scout Thing. To get you license to use axes and knifes, you earn your totin' chip card. When caught not doing the rules, you loose a corner off your card. Loose 4 corners, you have to re-earn it.

The basic principle for blade-use in the Boy Scouts is to use blades only for constructive purposes.

Basic safety rules and requirements for this recognition are:

Read and understand woods tools use and safety rules from the Boy Scout Handbook.
Demonstrate proper handling, care, and use of the pocket knife, axe, and saw.
When not using a blade keep it covered (sheaths, folding knives, etc.).
Use only sharp clean blades, as they are less likely to slip.
When carrying blades, keep them sheathed and keep axe and saw blades at your side with the blade perpendicular to your body.
When passing a blade it must be closed or sheathed. Before you let go the other person acknowledges that they are holding the blade by saying 'thank you'.
Check to make sure no one is in your blood circle before you use a blade (i.e. No one within your maximum reach with the blade).
When using a knife cut away from yourself, preferably while sitting at a table.
When using an axe, saw, or hatchet wear safety glasses and ensure that when you cut through the object you will encounter something hard.
Respect property. Only cut dead trees and with good reason. Make sure you have permission before cutting any trees, living or dead.

I was remembering that rule on Saturday when I stuck myself in the hand with my pocket knife. :rr
But I really do think about that rule every time I use a knife.
Mike I think that you need to do some research into the Boy Scouts and brainwashing. :jerk

Just for clarification and not that you are of course Craig > it's an old signal to the next officer that the person with the clipped license is an A hole. Thought John would jump in on that one. I haven't seen it done in years, I think the judges caught onto it. Usually happened after a resisting arrest charge....

Back in the OLD days in Illinois. Before all these new fangled computer things, when you got a ticket they would confiscate your license and you would 'drive' on the ticket. After the infraction was dealt with, fine, etc....you would get your license back in the mail stapled to paperwork. From then on a cop would ask you for your license and feel how many staple holes were in it for a quick acessment.

Or you could just pay the fine on the spot...handing the cash to the officer. I wonder why they stopped that practice? :whis

Gotta love Illinois

'Cause no one carries cash nowadays, only credit/debit cards.

They stopped taking cash long before debit cards but your point is true. There were cases of cops simply pocketing the cash is what prompted new policy. Before all the new tech, cops could pull drivers over and never even radio it in. Made getting warnings a whole lot easier too.

I knew what it meant just figured the other John's Boy Scout explanation sounded pretty good (only lost one corner on my tot'n chip!). Never did it myself though. :whis

You have me curious as to whether Il. still does that. The reason for the curiosity is I investigated a collision last month where a young lady from Il was at fault. She couldn't provide a driver's license, only an ID card. She used the reason you gave. When I ran her through records, Il DMV showed no record. No, she didn't drive herself away from the collision (someone else did, but it wasn't the po-po). Yes, she got an additional invite to a city party for not having a d/l (of course, she got one for causing the collision too)!

Based upon firsthand and anecdotal experience I will say not any longer. At least up in the northern half.
