Just been watching some cop show and they pulled a guy with no docs and told him it was an offence to not have them with him.

WTF

Have they recently changed the law or something?? I never remember it being a legal requirement to carry documents with you.

I dont carry anything other than insurance cert and maybe some ID on me (usually have at least a cash card etc on me).

I wouldnt want to leave all my docs in car as its a thiefs easy way to get all they need to sell it on quick

Surely if its law to carry them they wouldnt issue producers, but just charge you with a specific offence????
