For a license violation?
RIDICULOUS!
...Maybe, but if I was a cop and knew she was married to Jon Steward I'd have Rodney Kinged her for plain stupidity if nothing else!
I had a arrest warrant out on me for an unpaid parking ticket I didn't even know I'd been given. A $2 fine cost $55, and I waited while the magistrate put out the radio call to cancel the arrest warrant on me.
Quite a bizarre feeling, really.

Do you know how many times a cop is shot and/or killed from a routine traffic stop? Stewart's wife wasn't the violent type, but who can take a chance?

Maybe, but the exact same procedeure was used on me when I got pulled over for driving with a suspended license. I had to call someone to bail me out too. What's worse is it was over a $4 parking ticket. Total cost $44. $4 for the ticket, $40 for "court costs". That's what they cuffed me and threw me in a holding cell for. $44.
Yep....we have no room for thugs, but we do for a next to nothing violation.
Depends on the reason for the suspended license. If a license is suspended for DWI, you can do time in the state pen if you're caught driving.
