New Law: Some Third Suspended License Violations No Longer Classified as Felonies
Posted by: dpakula on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - 12:44 PM
	In a new law that takes effect on July 1, 2008, the Florida Legislature has reduced the potential penalties for certain third or subsequent driving with suspended, canceled or revoked license (DWLS) violations. The new law applies if the underlying suspension was for certain reasons, including: failing to pay traffic penalties, failure to pay child support, failing to maintain mandatory auto insurance, and having been designated as a habitual traffic offender (HTO - three violations within 5 years). The Legislature has apparently determined that many persons with multiple DWLS violations do not deserve to be classified as felons. Read on for more details.

Driving with a Suspended License, Part V: When the State Cannot Prove the Defendant's Knowledge of a Suspension
Posted by: dpakula on Friday, January 26, 2007 - 07:01 PM
	One of the elements of the criminal offense of driving with a suspended license with knowledge is, of course, that the defendant had knowledge that his or her license was suspended. In a criminal prosecution, the State has the burden of proving this element beyond a reasonable doubt. The Defendant has the right to remain silent and not testify. So how can the State prove the defendant's knowledge? Florida law makes the prosecution's job easy in certain circumstances, and impossible in other circumstances. Hopefully, your case falls into the latter category.

Driving with a Suspended License, Part IV: The Clerk's Withheld Adjudication -- a Secret Weapon to Avoid a Five-Year HTO Revocation
Posted by: dpakula on Thursday, September 21, 2006 - 07:11 PM
	If you have two prior convictions for driving with a suspended license within a five-year period (in some instances, a withheld adjudication counts as a conviction), your third strike within the five-year period will result in a five-year HTO (habitual traffic offender) revocation of your driver's license. If you find yourself in this predicament, there is one extremely important thing you must know: do not, I repeat DO NOT attend your arraignment before checking with a qualified attorney. You may be eligible for a one-time procedure known as a "clerk's withheld adjudication." However, this "secret weapon" generally is unavailable after your appearance at arraignment.

Diplomatic Immunity, Consular Immunity and Traffic Tickets
Posted by: Admin on Friday, October 22, 2004 - 08:27 AM
	?Consular immunity? must be distinguished from ?diplomatic immunity.? The two terms are often used interchangeably. However, there are significant differences between the two types of immunity.

Your Constitutional Rights in Traffic Court
Posted by: Admin on Tuesday, October 19, 2004 - 06:39 PM
	You're probably wondering, "What does the Constitution have to do with my traffic ticket?" Well, you may be surprised to learn that there are several constitutional provisions that frequently come into play in traffic court. The two most common are the "due process" and the "speedy trial" clauses.
