If they charged you with possessing a suspended drivers license, there's not much you can do about that if it's against the law.So the reality of cop prejudice finally hit home this week. After reading of Ron Bs ordeal I have decided to fight it in Brevard co court.
Monday afternoon I rode by a traffic stop where several county cop cars had pulled someone over. Seemed excessive but I decided it might be a drug related thing and motored past about 25 mph. Up and over the bridge I go and when I get to the bottom of the bridge I hear the blue lights and siren behind me. So I pull over and pull out my page of definitions from the 2011 Florida statutes with the appropriate sections highlighted.
Cops pulled out their reference booklet and decided I was illegaly operating an unliscenced motorvehicle while in possession of a suspended drivers liscence.
WARNING! If your liscence is suspended mail it to the DMV immediately, do not have it on you! Its a misdemeanor the dick cops will use against you.
So they booked me into the county Jail and the next morning the Pretrial release judge couldnt believe I was there and immediately dropped the $1500 bond to zero and signed the release order. I was let go more than 15 hours later at Midnight Wed morning, rediculous. Apparently if I am an inmate by Midnight, the jail gets to count me as a resident for another day and charge the state for it. Beware, Jail was not fun!!!
Anyways, will keep it updated.
If it's for riding a motor vehicle with a suspended license you can probably beat that.
When you get to court, inform the judge that in Florida all motor vehicles are considered self propelled. Your motor bicycle isn't self propelled because you must pedal it away from a stop to get it moving, so therefore it doesn't fit the description of a motor vehicle.
sounds like things are lookin up! Best of luck on the 11th
