In that situation that officer has 30 days to file a summons against you. All he would do is take your info and have an officer from that town respond out and "co-sign" on the ticket. But if he never took your DL then he has no proof who was driving just that he saw the car by the license plate. Point being if you are around and somone identifies themselves as an officer and they show you their badge and id it's a good idea to comply, because there is a list of charges you can get hit with for not doing so.
And whoever brought up hitting an officer? Whether we are on duty or not after we identify ourselves, as little as pushing us can result in a 4th degree aggravated assault charge.

then you wouldn't have a problem with the citizen that drives to the nearest police station with you in tow, right. you know about the kooks out there that impersonate officers and commit all sorts of crimes against unknowing vicitms...I would sure hate to get an evading charge if i called the locals to assist and refused to pull over for a POV, but made my way to their department wholst obeying all traffic laws...especially since i'm armed...
just my .02, can't be too careful - yanno?
