Interesting -- I was always under the impression that they'd be more likely to
ticket locals and not bother with out-of-staters since it is more of a hassle
and more work for them to deal with licences and registration from another
state.  I've always hear stories like that, and when my friend was pulled over
and showed the police his out-of-state license (he'd been a local for a while
but never switched his license) they told him to go ahead (of course I don't
know if they would have done that anyway, but it seemed like the guy decided
it would be a bother AFTER he realized the lic. was out-of-state)
