By Independence Day, they were back again, this time with new branding, calling themselves the 1776 Restoration Movement. They have monogrammed hats, videos show.

…

In the video, the officer asks the men for their driver's licenses, and one man says he doesn't have his. So, the officer lets them all go. A driver can be ticketed in Maryland for failure to produce a license if the driver doesn't have the license on them.

1. White Privilege

That's why they didn't kill him.

3. Or a sympathizer. Highland Park terrorist captured without incident.

4. Anybody know what they're protesting?

They can enjoy the traffic. There doesn't look to be enough of them to make much impact.

5. Someone trying to extend the grift perhaps.

That entire truckers protest was nothing more than a money making grift for a few of them. There was some excellent investigative journalism done on the topic. I'll see if I can find it and post a link to it.

6. It's beginning to appear to me that the police have officially become the Freikorps.

7. It might be they checked and saw he has a valid license, just not on him.

I'm okay with that as long as everyone gets the same treatment.

9. Under most state laws covering CDLs, if you cannot provide one, the rig will be shut down

until you can provide the CDL.

A 40T big rig must have the Class A with the the doubles/triples and HazMat endorsements.

The cop screwed up. . .but as long as the cop agreed with the positions of the trucker, who cares about the law?

Again, police have become the Freikorps.

10. Where I live not only do you have to have a license, you have to remove it from your wallet

and hand it to the cop.

11. A certain cop needs time off for good behavior --- oh ---

and without pay.
