“Years ago...They actually issued Sheriff Cards. You put it near your driver’s license so both were visible.”
I remember my Dad, a union official, giving the deputy his driver’s license with a folded bill under it. He was handed back the license without the bill and told to drive carefully. The deputy saluted.
It’s just gotten a little more sophisticated. (BTW, if you tried that today you’d probably be in trouble. But I actually say Mexican police pull over Americans and demand $50 cash or they’d “go to jail.” This was late 2009.)
