Dismiss License Suspension Charges

Summary

To potentially dismiss charges for driving with a suspended license, challenge the legality of the traffic stop, present evidence of license reinstatement, and explain missed court dates. Ensure you have legal representation, such as a lawyer or public defender, to effectively argue your case. If fines are involved, provide documentation of payment attempts and clarify any missed payments. Check with the court for virtual arraignment options, like Zoom, by contacting them directly.

I'm in jail for driving while license suspended *. I committed no crime and there was no victims involved. The cops pulled me over because they recognized my vehicle but I did not commit any other crime. I just got my license back and missed a court date. I have a pre arraignment tomorrow. How can I get my license back and drop the charges. I feel like I'm being harassed by the cops and the fines from all this is making my life where I can't be successful at all.
To address your situation, you should:
- Inform the judge about getting your license back and explain the missed court date.
- Mention any evidence or witness statements that support your claim of no other crime.
- Request a public defender if you don't have a lawyer to help with your defense.
- Document instances of harassment for future reference.
Good luck with your pre-arraignment! Is there anything specific you need to prepare for tomorrow?
How can I get this thrown out of court
To potentially get your case dismissed, consider the following:
- Challenge the Stop: Argue that the police had no legal basis to stop you if they only recognized your vehicle without witnessing any crime.
- Provide Evidence: Present any proof that you had your license reinstated and explain the missed court date.
- Legal Representation: Ensure you have a lawyer or request a public defender to help argue your case effectively.
Is there any particular evidence or witness statement you have that could support your defense?
