Sooooooooooo.........
According to the State of Michigan....
I don't exist.
No license, no record, no nothing.
On the way to Electric Chair with Linners I got pulled over for doing 38 in a 25 (WTF, it's hard enough to get people to go 38mph for crying out loud!!)
Guy made me get in the cop car, thought he was going to arrest me, threatened to arrest me, basically told me I didn't exist in the eyes of the State. See, I lost my license in Canada and never got a new one. But when he typed in my information, including my license number on my checks, it showed no existing record. He tried it only about a million times, and the last few times he turned the screen so I could see and he typed in everything real careful-like and doublechecked every thing with me, like my full name, address, D.O.B, etc.
Notta.
Soooo....like, do I gotta take drivers ed for a THIRD time?!?!?!?!
Not only THAT, but he typed in my social security number, and nothing came up with that either, so not only do I not have a driving record, but no identity - period.
Best Case Scenario: Freak Computer Glitch
Worst Case Scenario: My identity has been erased
If my soc. doesn't work...I'm pretty much screwed over.
Tonight was totally like living in the Twilight Zone. I'm sitting in a cop car, with the cop telling me I don't exist. I'm staring back at him through the plexiglass motioning with my hands, "No! No! I do exist! I'm right here...I've had a driver's license since I was 16, I'm real, I'm alive, I'm breathing."
[Definitely Livejournal Worthy]
P.S. I got a 115 dolla ticket and 3 points. I guess I had it coming. First time something like that ever happened to me. I'm cool with the ticket, it's not a big deal. It's somehow much easier to take getting a ticket when it is overshadowed by THE FACT THAT THE GOVERNMENT SUDDENLY DECIDES TO KILL YOU OFF!
