Pulled over multiple times for non-driving spouse not having driver's license

I've been pulled over multiple times now by cops from both my town and one town over for the dumbest reason. My spouse doesn't drive but their name is on the vehicle for ownership reasons. The cops scan my plate, something dings in their system, and then they tell me that my spouse has an "expired license". My spouse has never had a driver's license. Their state ID is up to date. I'm getting tired of being pulled over for something this dumb.

What are my options? Each time I've given my license to the cop but if they don't have a reasonable suspicion of a crime then in my state I don't have to ID myself. Can I just tell them to F off and ask if I'm free to go next time? Do I need to take my spouse and their ID to the police station and get them to fix whatever is wrong in their system that keeps getting me pulled over?

I am seriously considering just refusing to give them my ID unless they have a citation, warrant, or articulated suspicion of a crime. On the upside I get a little less freaked out when pulled over now because my go-to assumption is they're on some BS.

Edit: I am first on the registration for the vehicle with my spouse being second. They are on the vehicle despite not driving so that if something happens to me they can easily sell the vehicle. Also because the money for buying the car initially came from my spouse's dad. His stipulation for buying us the car was that my spouse's name be on the car as well as mine.

Pranks and Autism: I can't be the only one to lose friends over this

I'm autistic & ADHD with ptsd from severe bullying in my youth for full context. I hate pranks. There is a burning passion in my soul for how much they bother me. I think I figured out why and I want to ask if it is the same or similar for other autistic folks.

Pranks at their core are boundary violations. In order to make a prank "work" you need to have some level of trust from your target. They can't expect that you're going to do something. Then you do the prank which usually makes them believe something bad is happening to them or something they care about. This is a very messed up thing to do because you don't know how people will react.

I've had friends violate my no pranks boundary and it's always gone bad. In one particularly bad instance I thought I was being attacked so I defended myself and caused some injury of the former friend. I say former friend because we couldn't continue with that friendship after they violated my trust to pretend to attack me and I punched them in the chest as hard as I could.

So is dislike or hatred of pranks a universal or semi-universal autistic experience or just me?

Brainstorming for some real world parallels for my Cheliax campaign

I want to have some tongue in cheek references to real world stuff in my Cheliax campaign. Does anyone else have some fun ideas that fit in the Golarion setting but can be obvious nods to real world stuff. For my campaign with Cheliax's ties to hell and Asmodeus I was coming up with stuff like...

A.I., your pocket companion Asmodean Infernal! A tiny devil that writes your missives but they feel like they're written like contract law with hidden clauses, draws pictures that are unsettling with too many fingers or an uncanny valley feeling like they're alive and can see your soul, and can cast minor illusions to entertain but they glitch to hellish scenes once in a while. The little guy is from hell so he's always overheating which means you have to give him half a waterskin every request or he burns you.

Any other ideas we got folks?
