I guess he could not resist poking the bear. I know in Georgia if you are a legal resident you need a Georgia drivers license, not sure about Minnesota. Of course the Wisconsin driver’s license raised other issues. It was stupid to be a jerk and jump on a cop doing his job.

I think most states require a person to xfer their driver's license after living there for some predetermined grace period. The grace period usually isn't that long in my experience, 3-6 months seems standard.

My experience is that 30 days is the more common statutory standard, with most cops allowing an indeterminate grace period beyond that (unless you're being a jerk).

Rep. John Thompson traffic stop bodycam video
St. Paul Police body-worn camera video of the July 4 traffic stop involving Minnesota State Rep. John Thompson.Subscribe to FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul https:...
The part I don't understand is why nobody's questioning why the officer allowed him to drive off on a suspended out-of-state license? Would you expect that, LTC David Brown?

It is valid, but when he was pulled over his driving privileges had been suspended under Minnesota law since 2019 for falling at least 3 months behind on child-support payments. The police officer even tells him the license is considered suspended right around the 15:23 point in the released body cam video, LTC David Brown.

1LT William Clardy - that is one of my questions, he lives and works in Minnesota, it should be legally wrong to have a Wisconsin license.

You're not the only one asking that question, LTC David Brown. Judging from the recently publicized revelations, the good Representative Thompson is quite a piece of work.

Where did John Thompson live when he was elected to the Legislature? MN or WI?
He renewed his Wisconsin driver’s license the same month he was elected from St. Paul.
