Is it Illegal to be in a bar and drinking with an expired Drivers License?

[Townsend]

When an I.D. is expired that means it's not valid, it's just like having no I.D. It's useless, worthless. I.D is needed for everything we do from check cashing to renting an apartment- The only time no I.D. is required is when we vote. Anyone can vote I.D or not.

Just got let out again?

You not only stop being you when your ID expires, you get younger.  Can we bottle this?

Apparently a Drivers License isnt even needed when you are sitting in your Beamer, stalking the mayor for a FOP-endorsed political foe:

I never thought about that, but you can get ticketed for not having a drivers license on you while driving... but what about just sitting in your car (spying on people!)?

You sound like a parrot!

A DL or any ID is not needed  to vote. At least that's the case in many states.

Where do you live again?

Feel free to post a picture of you-know-who here.

They're having a fundraiser at 31st & Memorial tonight. From the Whirled:

Tulsa County Sheriff's Department, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the ABLE Commission, as well as the Tulsa Police Reserves, have been invited to assist with the event (roadblock), TPD reported.
The special enforcement crackdown is part of Oklahoma's "More Cops. More Stops" campaign meant to help save more lives on the state's roadways. Overtime funding is being provided by the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office.

EDIT to add:  From 10pm to 3am, the roadblock scored 10 arrests (mostly outstanding warrants but included marijuana possession, public drunk and at least one DUI) and 71 tickets written.

Went way under quota.  At one point they resorted to arresting the passengers of designated drivers.
What message do you think that sends?

Drink at home and stay inside.

Same one we send on so many other topics....

If the key is in the ignition you are operating a vehicle... I think that is how it goes down.

Last years numbers disappointed them, this year they set up outside the Casino in Coweta re-branded as "Endui" but I never heard any after-action reports.

At least they know how to spend money.

I'll tell ya what- If you have to ask the question, it's most likely illegal. It's best to err on the side of assuming it's illegal, because a bust can be very costly. Why go around with a expired DL anyhow, re-new the darn thing.

Yep, and even if it's on private land. Worse,  in some states you can actually get a DWI for  riding bike or a horse, in PA that is the case with riding a horse- unless they changed that law, because after all a horse won't go where it's dangerous to go. Yep, if the keys are in the heap you better not have any alcohol around or $$$$$ -it'll cost ya big time. BTW, those DWI check points are always  said to be a great success- if they catch nobody all night long  they say the DWI check point works because it keeps DWI drivers off the road- so it was a success. If the DWI check point makes a lot of arrests they say the check point was a success because they nabbed a lot of drinkers. Either way they have their bases covered.
