An @ArlingtonPD officer in Texas tells a Puerto Rican man his Puerto Rican license isn’t valid in Texas and writes him a ticket for having no valid drivers license

I called the police department and they acknowledged the officer was wrong and they dropped the ticket.

Luis Angel Alvelo Gonzalez was recently cited by this Arlington police officer for:
Stop, Stand, or Park on Sidewalk
No Valid Driver’s License – Unlicensed (Now Dropped)
Improper Window Tint or Material Obstructing Windshield or Side / Rear Window

What is surprising is that the officer did nothing to look into whether or not the license was valid, despite Luis’ repeated polite, insistence, that the ID was valid. The officer dismissed it and said you can fight it in court. I called the police department and they acknowledged what we know: Puerto Rico drivers licenses are valid in any state in the United States. A Puerto Rico drivers license is as valid as any drivers license in any state in the United States of America.

It happened again.
With a different rental car company.
This time: @Avis.
Francisco Melendez traveled from the island of Puerto Rico to Texas, and walked into an Avis rental car location in Cedar Hill, Texas, near Dallas, to pick up the vehicle he had rented. He presented his Puerto Rico drivers license, which is as valid is any license issued in any state in the United States of America.
They asked for his passport.
He didn’t have it.
He told them he didn’t need it to fly to Texas so he didn’t need it to driver in Texas.
The lady, according to Francisco, said “sir I don’t make the rules.”
Here’s the kicker, he walked out of the Avis location furious so he says he stopped by an @Enterprise just to see if he could rent one there. Though he didn’t have a pre-scheduled reservation, he walked up to the counter to try and book a car and he says a worker said the same thing to him: no passport, no rental.
Watch to see the response from Avis higher ups.
