    In NYS if the license cannot be read by a Police scanner you can be ticketed. It's no big deal to get a new license and so I would just do that and not worry about being stopped.

    I would guess California is the same.

    The cost of a replacement license is quite reasonable. Just go to the DMV and present the old one, sit for a new photo, and you'll be all set. If it is cracked and unreadable, then essentially it is a worthless piece of paper unable to be read or scanned versus a valid driver's license. Why gamble?
