Your questions are all over the place. A policeman is bound by the law, including Supreme court decisions. Not sure what you are driving at, but the Supreme Court has said that driving is a privilege not a right, and therefore the states can put almost any restriction they want on that privilege. This includes driving without a license which is a second degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail. Not sure what admiralty law has to do with your question.
