At least least the cop gave up and let the guy go. This woman was actually arrested in Georgia for driving with a perfectly valid driver’s license:

[Ontario woman arrested, jailed in U.S. for driving with a Canadian licence](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-woman-arrested-jailed-in-u-s-for-driving-with-a-canadian-licence-1.4648561) Driving with a valid Ontario license is of course legal in all states and provinces. What the hell did the idiot cop think this woman was supposed to do – take a Georgia driver’s test and wait for a Georgia driver’s license for the privilege of driving through the state? Don’t these cops get any training at all? No wonder police violence is so widespread.
