Here's the situation:

Driving from NJ to Las Vegas, friend gets pulled over in Kansas for speeding and seatbelt violations. Bigger problem, his license expired last month. Cop gives him 3 tickets, and then confiscates his drivers license, saying I should drive.

Is the cop allowed to confiscate his license?

What would be our best course of action considering the circumstances?

• You drive the rest of the way.
  
  Your friend should
  
• pay the tickets; and
• Renew the driver's license.

Hello K:

He has NO license.. It expired.. What he had was a piece of paper that represented NOTHING. So, I don't know why you're upset that he confiscated it.

Last time they renewed my license, they also gave me an ID card at no extra charge. Seems like a good idea. That way if some cop decides to confiscate the license for some inexplicable reason, I will still have photo ID.
