Unlawful Traffic Ticketing Explained

Summary

Gary McKinney Jr. Was ticketed for driving on a suspended license, no registration, and no insurance while he was walking across the road. He was not aware of his license suspension as the DMV sent the notification to someone else. He believes his bike is legal and feels harassed by the police. He was advised to consult a local attorney as driving with a suspended license is a serious offense in West Virginia, with penalties including fines, jail time, and extended suspension.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. Just to clarify, you were stopped by a different police officer while walking across the road, and they wrote you a ticket for driving on a suspended license, as well as for not having registration or insurance for your bike, even though the bike is legal. Is that correct?
Yes
