920 LAWS OF MARYLAND Ch. 14
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(A) POSSESSION AND DISPLAY OF LICENSE; WRITING
SAMPLE.
(1) IN THIS SUBSECTION, "DISPLAY" MEANS THE
MANUAL SURRENDER OF THE LICENSEE'S LICENSE INTO THE HANDS
OF THE DEMANDING OFFICER FOR INSPECTION.
(2) EACH INDIVIDUAL DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE
ON ANY HIGHWAY IN THIS STATE SHALL:
(I) HAVE HIS LICENSE WITH HIM;
(II) DISPLAY THE LICENSE TO ANY UNIFORMED
POLICE OFFICER WHO DEMANDS IT; AND
(III) IF REQUESTED BY THE OFFICER, SIGN HIS
USUAL SIGNATURE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE OFFICER SO THAT
THE OFFICER MAY DETERMINE WHETHER HE IS THE LICENSEE.
(B) GIVING FALSE NAME.
A PERSON MAY NOT GIVE THE NAME OF ANOTHER PERSON OR
GIVE A FALSE OR FICTITIOUS NAME TO ANY UNIFORMED POLICE
OFFICER WHO IS ATTEMPTING TO DETERMINE THE IDENTITY OF A
DRIVER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §6-112 - except for those
provisions relating to the signature of the
licensee appearing on the license, which now
appear in §16-111(d)(1) of this subtitle.
In the introductory language of subsection
(a) (2) of this section, the phrase "individual
driving..." is substituted for "licensee" for
clarity.
Subsection (a) (2) (iii) is revised to clarify
that it is speaking of the same officer
referred to in subsection (a) (2) (ii); and the
phrase "in the discharge of his duties" is
deleted as unnecessary. The term "usual
signature" is substituted for "name" to
conform to the language in §16-111(d)(1) of
this subtitle as to the signing of the
licensee, against which the officer would make
the necessary comparison.
The only other changes are in style.
The General Assembly may wish to compare the
requirements of subsection (a) of this section
with those of §13—409 of this article. Under
this section, a police officer who is not in
uniform may not require the driver of a
vehicle to display his driver's license;
