I had a very similar thing happen to me, except the CHP had already written the ticket and I had just signed it; in my case, he tore off all the copies of the ticket and handed them to me without realizing it, so he had nothing to take back to the station :)

yep, that could very well happen

Well, now you'll just have to move. And leave no forwarding address.

Just go to the office, ask what officer was there at the time, ask for your license back, case solved. Not all the dicks are dicks, some have some smarts, and they might figure out what they did, but don't bet on it.

Go back to the area in which you were pulled over. Speed and drive recklessly for some time, soon enough you will be pulled over for driving to endanger. Then just ask for your license back. Problem solved.

Lol

CHP: Why were you pulled over?
gduke: I had no chains on my Prius.
CHP: Oh, here it is. It was Officer Xxxx. Please sign here.
gduke: You're giving me a ticket?
CHP: The officer didn't have time to write it since he had an urgent call. We just finished it for him since you came in.
gduke: WTF!
CHP: Well, you know those Prii are monsters on the road. They even outrun police cars! Have a nice day!

Fixed it for you.

The worst part is, by getting pulled over, he delayed me enough that I couldn't go skiing. The accident was just down the road and people were turning back and telling me it would be a 2 hour delay.

Well, maybe it was a good thing he pulled me over, my Prius might have been involved in the accident.

It' s amazing how many people run of the road and burry there cars in snow banks. Never had a problem with the Prius.

Sadly, you're probably right.

that sort of happened to me once.. in the middle of AK,, my buddy got pulled over the state trooper wanted my license as well. he then lost it !!! took almost an hour to find it. he felt so bad he ripped up my buddies ticket .. turns out it blew off his clip board and landed in the side pocket of his cruiser.. Hey duke,, where were you going skiing ? pretty windy this weekend up here in VCity

On my way to Kirkwood on Sunday. Usually, go there on Sunday's and Heavenly on Saturday.

I was working with one of our state troopers doing logbook checks based on probable cause speeding. We pulled over a truck for 78 in a 55 - which in case your interested, is going to get you a ticket. I did the logbook and inspection paperwork while the trooper ran the license and wrote the ticket. We had the license sitting on the center console. Danged if I didn't bump it and the license slide into a crevice and fell inside of the console... I mean INSIDE the damn thing!

It took me close to half an hour to take the console apart enough to get the license out... At that point, the trooper tore up the ticket. Felt it was the least we could do at that point.

Man, I felt like a complete idjit...
