"Was he driving? Was his license suspended? Dunno and neither did the cop."

Was he driving? Well...his truck was parked on the edge of a highway, and he had a passenger in the truck. How do you suppose he got there?

The assumption is that if you're standing by a truck along the highway you got there somehow, and that was probably by driving the truck there, doncha think?

Cops deal with lots of stuff, and they make assumptions. In this case, I think I'd assume that the guy was driving the truck just recently, since he was far from home and had a passenger. Makes sense to me.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree. I can't make that assumption and if the cop had he should have said, when asked, "I want to see your ID because you were just driving". Instead he gave that "I'm investigating" junk (I might have it wrong, but that's my memory but it didn't have anything to do with driving).

But I suspect that the civilian was lucky he didn't get charged with interfering with a government employee conducting an investigation (don't laugh, it's a law in some states).
