Show the CHL twice in the past month

Most CHL/LEO contacts are positive, how about yours? Bloopers are fun, but no names please, if it will cause a LEO problems!

Show the CHL twice in the past month

#1

Post by Kalrog »

I am in the process of my first renewal. I haven't had to show the license at all for 4 years, and then about 3 weeks ago I was stopped and ticketed for an expired registration. I deserved that one. Got it fixed and everything is fine. Then this morning I was rear ended pretty hard and I called for LEO assistance. Everything handled with the wreck just fine.

In both cases (Leander PD and Austin PD respectively) I declared and showed the plastic. They both asked where it was - I responded. Then they glanced at the plastic and told me to put it away. Very professional and absolutely well handled.

Now for the laugh... the APD officer wanted me to find a newer insurance card since mine expired on 28 May, 2009. :rules: And I was like :confused5 He insisted that I needed to find a current card :nono: Then he realized that it was still May and not June. I'm glad I didn't hit my head that hard to lose a whole month. :smilelol5: :thumbs2:

I had a judge do that exact thing to me in Harris county while at court for expired inspection. I am standing at the bench with my head hung low not wanting to be the person to tell him that it was still a valid card. Fortunately he realized it on his own after he noticed the shock on my face when he asked if I preferred a jury trial :shock:
He had me confused with the next person in line.
