I was living with my ex at the time and one night we got into a big screaming match. I can be a real loud girl, lol so one of my neighbors called them cops.
My ex was the typical "bad boy". A big muscle guy with a few tats and a goatee. When they showed there was 2 male cops and they were pretty hot. They treated me like the "poor woman" and were all protective of me.
They ran both of our ID's to make sure there was no warrants and when they ran mine they asked me "who is this ......" and they said a male name (I am not going to say my old name, lol). I was so taken back, I didnt know what to say other then the truth. I felt very awkward.
My licence says female with a female name, but in my record it says I have had a name change and what my old name used to be.
Now I have moved back to NY and have not gotten a new licence because I need to figure out a way for that little piece of information to drop off some how. I know I can never get rid of it entirely, but I do not want it on my DMV record where it is accessible to any cop who could pull me over.
I was pulled over here on Long Island last year. I was going 75 in a 40, lol. I like to drive fast. The cop was my age, and all into me. I lowered my top a bit as he came to my window. I didnt get a ticket but he handed me his card with his number instead. So after that situation I gathered that not all my info is accessible when I am in another state, since I still have a MN licence.
