Randomly checking for a drivers license which you are required to have when driving. Many people who have had their drivers license suspended often drive their vehicles anyway. I would assume most states (if not all) require you to surrender you drivers license to the police when asked. I believe the law actually views the drivers license as the property of the state which would be where they have the right to revoke it.
