'Notamed closed' question

[long yarn about a police officer arresting a pilot snipped]

What's any of that got to do with the question of surrendering your pilot
certificate to an FAA inspector?


An FAA inspector could be there instead of the airport owner, also backed by
the constable. The taking of the photo ID is sufficient; it is unnecessary to
have to surrender your certificate nowadays to have the same effect. One
authority can always call on the other authority upon resistance (whether this
happens or not I don't know, and don't want to find out)

The police officer doesn't have the authority to demand your driver's
license either. I look forward to being arrested in a situation such as you
describe. In recent years, individuals have made quite a lot of money
(typically hundreds of thousands of dollars, up to a million) as a result of
such capricious arrests.

In any case, having the police officer take your driver's license still has
nothing to do with an FAA inspector taking your pilot certificate.

IMHO, you are far too willing to let persons in positions of authority have
their way with you.

So, you're pulled over on the highway and the police officer asks for your
license and registration. What do you do?

I hand it to him. I fail to see the relevance. In one case, an official is
trying to extend their authority beyond that granted him. In the other, an
official is simply doing their job, exercising authority granted him.

But even the police officer does not have the authority to keep your
driver's license, not even at a traffic stop never mind at an airport.
