My girlfriend was driving my car home from a roadtrip down to San Diego for spring break. We were about half way home (King City....) when she got pulled over for going 75 in a 65. So I was sitting passenger and went to reach for my real ID when he asked for proof of insurance to show the car was mine and accidentally flipped my fake that was sitting in a tray by the dash. I then reached into my pocket and pulled out my real one, along with matching credit cards and cash.
So he wound up asking about the ID in the tray and I told him it was a friend of a friend's that had left it in the car and I was going to return it to him on the way home. He then began to go on a macho power trip and plant assumptions that I could use it to pass for 21 because it was "handy that the man was 22". Well I played it off real well and tried to make him feel bad that my bud would have to pay for a new liscence just because the cop felt it was necessary to hold onto it.
What I'm wondering is if I should feel worried about the cop trying to get me in trouble for having it. The ID was given to me by a friend about 3+ years ago, and he said that one of his friends had left it at his house for years and wouldn't miss it. The thing is that I wasn't caught using it, just caught with it in my posession. I'm guessing he'll try to contact the kid and ask simple things like "did you ever have a wallet stolen" or some detective BS like that to try to pin me for something. Hopefully the cop will drop it, but I'd like to plan for the worse anf figure he'll contact the kid. And beyond this, hopefully the kid will just say 'forget about it' if so...
What do you guys think? Sorry to be paranoid, but the cop was quite a dick for no reason so I've got to assume he's got time to spare to try to screw me over, along with the fact that I saw him take down my liscence number as well...
Thanks
