What he said WHAT?

If you heard him correctly, that is not just not staying up on current law as it relates, not Admin changes, that was a direct lecture statement from a person in apparent expertise and athority to violate the law
That one if you are remembering correctly needs to go back to DPS for an instructor review.

Two responses
After more than 30 years of briefing, trianing, lecturing to High School graduates, college educated, career politician, military leaders of all ranks.. i can say for sure, people often do not hear what was said..it is filtered by them, or outright not heard.
And
Often, instructors who know implicitly the materiel they are teaching or briefing allow personal experiences or bias mix in with the program of instruction.
I deal with both of these things literally every week.
