November 12, 2009 – Judge in Hillsborough County, FL, granted our motion to dismiss charges in 8835-SPO, for driving while license suspended with knowledge, a second degree misdemeanor under rule 3.190(c)(4) because the undisputed facts did not provide the prosecutor with sufficient evidence to show that our client had “knowledge” that her driver’s license was suspended or revoked. In that case, she did not make any statements that she knew, a ticket for an unpaid Florida citation and the fact that her license had been suspended three times in another state was insufficient as a matter of law. The case was dismissed completely.

December 1, 2009 – The State Attorney’s Office in Hillsborough County dropped all charges in case number CT-001621-FWX for driving while license suspended as a habitual traffic offender (ultimately charged as a misdemeanor) before Judge Lawrence Lefler. The charges were dropped on the day of a hearing on a motion to suppress. In the motion to suppress we showed that the officer did not have a good reason for stopping the vehicle just because of a complaint from a concerned citizen about a suspicious vehicle parked in front of a vacant home. A few months prior to the hearing we were able to vacate one of the underlying offenses that caused the Habitual Traffic Offender status. On the day of the hearing, the client had his full driving privileges and a valid driver’s license. The fact that this charge was dismissed entirely allowed the client to avoid another five year HTO revocation.
