The internet is an amazing thing-
I just got a call from the officer I met yesterday. He wanted to clarify that out of state residents do need a license, and he verified mine shortly after our encounter. The mistake was that there were 2 officers I met with and each thought the other had checked my license and we all misinterpreted the conversation.
I would like to reiterate that my encounter was nothing but professional and I had zero issues with how either officer acted. I was confused about how some things were handled (ID and license) and apparently so were they. All is well that ends well.
