Some years ago when our uk driving licences did not have photographs I was stopped for a minor traffic violation whilst driving in Arizona USA. The woman deputy sheriff was not happy and demanded a document including a photo. My passport was packed away in my suitcase in the boot and would have taken some time to access it. So being at the time a UK Police Officer and having my warrant card in my wallet complete with photo I showed it to her. After a thoroughly good dressing down from her (better than I could have done back home without getting into trouble) making me feel about 2 inches high whats more in front of my wife and 12 year old son she let me off. Saying " I won't write you one up now call it professional courtesy". I have always wondered if the paper work involved me being a foreigner was more than it was worth.
