I know its normal to get asked for license, registration, and proof of insurance. But why ask for the registration? When I register every year, the county sends me a sticker with the plate number and expiration date to stick on the lic plate. The cops van see the plate and date right? Plus I’m sure they run the plate when they pull you over anyway. Seems to me they already know the registration status.

So why do they still ask for the registration paper?

    I don’t see how: you’d get all your paperwork wet.

    Gloves are in jacket pockets. If I did leave any in the car, it would be in the door pocket, or left on the back seat to dry

    But most of us have heat in our cars

      Thank you! I went to Wikipedia, the glove compartment was originally for storing driving gloves back when automobiles were open to the air and you needed to keep your fingers from getting numb.

      In the era and genre of Perry Mason it seems like everyone kept a loaded revolver in there in case it became essential as a plot point.
