    Did the cop follow him to his driveway and then issue the tickets or just see him sitting there?

    I forgot what he called it but that's what he said the officer said that they use a system for looking that up and that he should check with his insurance company to make sure they have it in there system (of course they did).

    Is there anyway someone could check to see if it shows up in that system? I'm betting it does show there and he got pulled over to see if anything else showed up.

I believe when they pull you over, their first thought is to kill you if you make the wrong move. Then their second thing on the list is to revenue generate for their municipality.
    Guess what municipality this was? Cockrell Hill

    Ain't that the god damn truth. I had a buddy pull into my driveway with a cop pulling him over. Cop pulls up in my driveway behind him and tells ME to go inside my house. Really ? You come on my property and tell me what to do ? Only reason I didn't tell him to fuck off and get his pile off my property was because I didn't want to make it worse on my buddy, but I didn't like it at all.

    It wouldn't hurt to get a court date. I'm enough of an ass to do it just to tell the story to a judge. I'd be pissed.

So he goes to produce his insurance card with Geico and the office gets his information and finds out that his drivers license is expired and proceeds to write him a ticket for that. The officer than called the insurance company and confirmed that he does have insurance but still still gives him the other ticket.

    Is this even legal? Sounds like he was profiled and pulled over for one thing to see if anything else showed up.
