Look up the NC statues for your permitting requirements and look up the VA status for reciprocity.  Most states honor another states laws.

the officer told me if the law in NC states it then I will not have to pay. He just did not know if it was law or not he was basing it off of what he thought to be true.

That would be correct. It's a law in VA so he is assuming it's the same in NC. If it's not, then you do not get the ticket. But he left it up to you to do the research.

What kind of bassackward country do you guys live in anyway? Doesn't the cop have to actually write down the section that was violated like they do EVERYWHERE else? I don't get it...

Well Va is a commonwelth and it is basically they make it up as it goes on. You can get a picked up for being drunk if they "think" you have been drinking, no test has to be given.

I understand what he did I just do not understand that you can give a person a ticket "thinking" that is the law. I have to bring in all of the paperwork and also show up to court. I did speed and I understand that I will pay the ticket as soon as the price comes out online, you do not get a price and a place to pay the ticket you have to look it up on thier website and do it yourself.
