I used to trailer my race car that had plates on it down to Tucson to make some extra money back in the late 70's.

I've broken at the street race spot and had to sit there when the law came by and everybody else took off. The LEOs were courteous enough... asked for license, registration and insurance info while chit-chatting long enough to know I wasn't drunk. They just handed it all back and drove away. No problem. The problem was actually getting home. (pre-cellphone days) LOL
