Piney,

I was going to do the same, but was told by an LEO copies would be the same as not having them with me - so I cancelled the idea for me.

Like you, I thought copies were better than nothing, but I was advised I was wrong...

Recently, I went to get my license plates renewed and found I didn't need to produce my insurance coverage paperwork as it's now found in the system - so why do we need to carry a license of any kind if they can show we're up to date in the system, irrespective of it being insurance coverage or what have you...ah, that's asked rhetorically of course.

It strikes that carrying papers perhaps other than I.D. is an antiquated way of doing official business as much is already in the database pertaining to ones variety of status...
