Northern Ontario,
Well if the Maple Leafs are part of the equation. maybe we've got consensus on all. LOL


Not correct: https://globalnews.ca/news/4192721/canadian-woman-arrested-georgia-driving-canadian-licence/


Wrong; two for two.


She was not a resident of Tenn. at present, she was in the U.S. visiting old student friends. That was the reason she stated she was in the U.S. for in answer to the cops first question. She told the cop she was ONCE a resident of Tenn.

Her license was valid WITHOUT her passport. Any lawyer will tell you probable cause must exist before demanding to see the passport to validate a perfectly legal and recognized driver's license where no grounds for suspicion of counterfeit exists beforehand.

She's golden as proven by Cook county rolling back on every single facet of this girl's arrest and trying desperately to put this fiasco behind them. Their roadside shakedown program just got spotlighted in international news. Tough noogies for Georgia and every other state that routinely pulls this chit.
For proof of identity you do...

but I still say, that her attitude when stopped is probably what did her in....

And bad press is the only thing that is making the authorities back off...
And snowflakes are very good at using it....

Cook County simply let her go as they do with everyone. She was 100% in the wrong but that doesn't mean she was going to prison.

I can see the Georgia police laughing at the hysterics from the snowflake brigade.

What do you mean my printed out not federally recognized status card isn't good enough for an ID to fly on a plane

Labrador woman stuck after Air Canada rejects Indigenous ID for return flight

A woman who used her NunatuKavut membership card as photo identification to travel to Edmonton is now stuck in Alberta, because the same ID was rejected by Air Canada staff for the return trip.
Miranda Stone, who lives in Charlottetown, Labrador, has been stuck in Alberta since Saturday when her ID was rejected as she attempted to board a flight.
"I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I got dropped off the airport," said Stone, "and now I can't get on my flight."
Stone sent away for a renewed driver's licence before her trip, but it didn't arrive in time. As a member of NunatuKavut, an organization of Southern Inuit from Labrador, Stone reached out to the group to inquire about using her membership card as proof of identity. he contacted the NunatuKavut Community Council office in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, where she says staff told her they could print a new membership card with her photo, and that other members had used the same card as identification for air travel.
"I said, 'OK, perfect, that saves me,'" Stone said. "I came on out to Alberta with that."

OK at first

Stone said the Air Canada employees who checked her documents en route to Edmonton never raised any concerns about her membership card, which includes a photo, and her birthday, name and gender.
She said some of the agents she dealt with on both legs of the trip were unfamiliar with the card, but apart from the gate agent in Edmonton, they all allowed her to travel with it.

Public Safety Canada lists several forms of identification which can be used for air travel, including a Certificate of Indian Status, commonly known as a status card, issued by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC).
But NunatuKavut membership cards are not issued by INAC — they're issued by the local governing body, the NunatuKavut Community Council.
Air Canada did not explain why some of its employees accepted the NunatuKavut membership card.

When she wasn't allowed to fly, Stone took a cab back to her friend's house outside Edmonton. She says the ride cost $80.
Rather than shell out more money for an emergency passport, she had a friend in Charlottetown mail her her new driver's licence, which had been delivered since she left Chalrottetown.
Stone said she's spent the week "sitting here in limbo, hoping and waiting … maybe somebody from Air Canada would pick up the phone and call me, and maybe even apologize."
She plans to fly home as soon as her licence arrives.

Yeah they simply let her go like they do everyone: "Three days after Nield's arrest, Matthew Bennett, the Cook County probate court solicitor, agreed the charges should be dismissed and the judge signed off on it, according to CBC.

Bennett said he is working with Nield's attorney to erase her arrest record."

"They let everyone go" and furiously rush to expunge any record of the events ever happening? Gee, When people are "100% in the wrong", that must keep them very busy arresting people then letting them go, dismissing all charges and hurriedly erasing all record of the event ever happening.

If this girl is emblematic of the "snowflake brigade" then bring it on kids. Cook county chicken chits are back-peddling faster than a golfer finding his ball on a gator's back. Now that's snowflakey.

I don't know the rules of Nexus, I haven't bothered with that particular tax grab, but if you are crossing the border by car normally, as most do, and you are over 16 (any number of years over) you need a passport. Period.
We love Nexus. Worth every penny.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense who is not grandstanding carries their passports with them when they leave our borders.

The Georgia cop was legally wrong; period..

Great article!


Here is the title which you left out.


Woman, 27, is arrested in Georgia for driving with a Canadian license after she was unable to show the police officer her original passport

Woman, 27, is arrested in Georgia for driving with a Canadian license | Daily Mail Online

Nield said she was arrested when she was unable to give the officer a hard copy of her passport because she didn't have it with her





BADABING!


That's what we've been saying. If she had just obeyed the law none of this would have happened. As to her reasoning for arrest she is just being a snowflake making up snowflake excuses.

The Georgia Police officer had every right to arrest her. The prosecutor dropped the charges because Ms. Neil had learned her lesson.



AND... her arrest record still stands.

Are people still flogging this dead horse or are they maggots looking for a meal?

I say it's maggots at this point.

No, I am right.

Go check TN law for students. After 30 days, change your DL.

Because TN considers you a resident.

Funny the American internet lawyer hero doesn't know these things.

No, you aren't, but here's a hint. The decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States override Tennessee law. It's right there in the Constitution. Article VI, section 2.

Sometimes even an enhanced licence needs a passport to back it.
