“Lost and Found: The Surprising Consequences When an Officer Fails to Return Your License”
The sheriff’s deputy who pulled over our child forgot to give our child’s license back. Our child called the sheriff’s office the next day and they said, “Without the officer’s badge number, there is nothing we can do.”
So, our child researched it online. He would need to report it as “lost or stolen.” Well, he didn’t actually “lose” it, nor was it “stolen.” So, our child would have to share the odd story with the DMV. Here’s the problem… Since Covid happened, our DMV is only open twice a month.
It is illegal here to drive without a license. Our child had to wait two weeks to go to the DMV. Luckily, I’m pretty organized and I had the necessary paperwork (W2, birth certificate, etc.). During this time, our child has only driven when it was absolutely necessary. It’s been a huge pain the you-know-what.
