Cop was just being a dush
This is ridiculous…
The fact that they would not release the car because he did not have a US issued license is illegal. If you have an internationally recognized license, you are fine. Not to mention, she said 51 states. Ignorant leadership
Complete BS. An Isreali licence is 100% valid in the US. You do NOT need an American licence to either drive OR register a car in the US. American police are sadly completely ignorant of the law.
Did she say 51 states,lol ðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤ÂÂ🤣â‰ï¸ÂÂ
This one I don't get it, he is a tourist, why not rent a car? The rental would have explain that weird law that invalidates other countries certification.
I would Not drive in the usa
That Eliran (Israeli guy who's kinda handsome) must have the patience of a saint: first he went to traffic court and the judge there said his Israeli license was OK but now Angie the police officer @ PPA was saying they didn't recognize foreign licenses, saying it had to be from one of the "51" states (in 2008 when this was filmed there were only 50 states; now they are talking about possibly making DC and/or Puerto Rico a state). It does seem to be somewhat of a runaround he's experiencing; although I would be suspicious of someone approached outside to act as a designated driver to drive the vehicle home, am also suspecting a hidden agenda of prejudice against Israelis. What he should have possibly done after all this was settled – and he doesn't seem like the type of person who would – gone to the Israeli consulate to see if a grievance could be filed against PPA for not recognizing his Israeli license when the traffic court judge OKed it.
It's all about keeping your car longer so they can charge you more for storage!
You can drive in the USA with a foreign license!
wait a minute…if the Israeli was able to rent the car with his license then what is this cop talking about???
I felt bad for this guy, seemed like a nice friendly guy. If he was my friend, he would make me laugh alot. But do gotta say, some employees are rude with attitude with power..lol. I get it's a difficult job, I wouldn't do it.
Any of the 51 States 🤯🤯🤯
That police officer was way out of line. Cops don't know the law regarding international licenses. Cop is a tyrant.
Honestly this guy – he better be trying to release a Bentley otherwise leave the scrap in impound & get a new vehicle man
So they can't release it to him, because he doesn't have a licence that is recognised in that State, but he's now driving the car anyway?
The cop didn’t know what she is talking about. He is a tourist and not a citizen. He can drive with a foreign license
No one's that's ever had their car impounded or received a fine never did anything wrong
The police woman said he needs someone from one of the 51 states with a driver's licence. I thought there was 50 states in the US.
03:29 I'm sorry darling but there are only 50 states.
Edit: Technically there are 51 State Dept. of motor vehicles. D.C. issues their own, i wonder if Puerto rica does something simlar.
That cop is definitely a Karen.
Actually 50 States but for some odd reason people don't include Hawaii & Alaska because they are not attached to the Main land. 🤦â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂðŸ¤â€Â🙄 Virginia was the first in 1607. Hawaii in 1820. America is only 244 years old though. Sept 9th 1776 is when they changed the name. Formally known as the United Colony. Independence Day from Britain. Although today America is far worse than Britain ever was on taxation. You are taxed 4 times before a single dollar touches your fingertips.🙄😳
Why hasn’t this show helped get the parking authority reformed , i.e. better communication between the parking authority and the police/court system, better computers and sensitivity training bc some of those guys at the lot are ruthless for no reason
They are very disrespectful to this polite tourist. SHAME!!!
There are 50 states in US. I think they put that police woman at PPA out of pity. She doesn't know the US geography nor is she familiar with laws of the land.
Foreigners can drive for up to a year on license from their home country. It's all clearly spelled out in Pennsylvania DMV website.
ישר×ÂÂל LOL
51 states?
