I thought if someone was caught driving without a driver's license that he or she was subject to immediate arrest.

But I guess that only happens to bitter, typical white people.

Allah help Obama’s grandmother if she forgot her license on a trip to senior center.

“subject to arrest” it is often up to the cop to arrest or just issue an appearance citation.

There are two types of violations, 1. suspended license (which you can only get if you HAD a license) and 2. driving without a license. (which is not as big a deal)

If you get popped without ever having a license the computer systems often generate a dummy license number as a place holder for the case. Thus an illegal getting stopped ten times for not ever having a licence could have 10 “new” cases with 10 “new” dummy DL numbers.

This way each time it is a case of first impression.

There's less paperwork for ticketing a citizen then there is for processing an illegal.

It happened right out in front of where I work. The cops pulled over an illegal and found he had no license, no insurance and was surely illegal. They gave him a ticket. Let him go.

Don't know about the bitter part, but I'm sure if your last name is smith, etc, etc, your car is about to be towed.
