Yes you are still "legally" allowed to be driving. However, you did get a ticket for driving on an expired license so I still think you should go to a police station NOW and inquire about this.

If you just keep driving and choose to wait until your court date you run the risk of getting stopped again (possibly by the same guy if he recognizes you) and then things could get worse.

Unfortunately, LEO's can make our lives miserable if they so choose regardless of who is in the right. Don't let this situation get worse. If everything you have told us is true then go get it fixed right now (and file a complaint against the issuing officer while you're at it).

i know what u talkin about dude,because an a$$ like this one i have to go to driving school now plus paying part of the ticket as well.Cops in Fl are diks and racists....

 

Unless of course, you need their help, then they are your bestest friends in the whole wide world.

BTW- the FL-FL group and the South Florida (and porobably every single sub-group on S2KI) have police officers as members.

 

Take care of it before you get stopped again, You could be taking a ride downtown in the cruiser......

 

believe it or not... cops have done worse... some of them will tell you you cant drive just to make you think you cant drive... they get pleasure out of it... some of them are the lowest of our fellow citizens... Is your NJ license fully valid? any warrants or suspensions? your license can be suspended for unpaid tickets and you wont even know it till you get caught...

i had a FL, CA, and VA license... but in all 3 states, I had to surrender my previous license to get a new one... i think theyre suppossed to cancel your previous one... maybe NJ forgot to cancel your FL license, so that is why its still on the records...

i can see how this can cause simple confusion on the side of a cop... and well... confusion means guilty when it comes to meeting ticket quota's...

DONT get a new FL license till you get this fully resolved in court... you should be able to drive till your court date... WALK (literally) into a police station and explain... if they say they cant do anything, call a traffic lawyer...

 

pfff come on. I can understand that he was a dick but you are driving in a state which issued you a license. Don't be so quick to think that because you had a valid drivers license from another state it exempts you from receiving a citation for having an expired Florida license. Also be sure to mention the fact that you believe he gave it to you because you Asian. I am sure the judge will be glad to correct you on both situations.

'

That is from the state website. This means that since you did not forfeit the license you are responsible to keep it up to date. Be prepared to pay a fine.

 

Where did you find that statement? I've been reading through the Florida Statutes for the last 30 minutes and haven't seen anything that lists that as being a mandatory "law".

i needed their help when they stole my car.. but the detective that was assigned to my case hasnt even called me back even AFTER i left a message saying i had a video of the thieves ... AND had descriptions of the cars they had AND MAYBE a plate number.. and i didnt even get a phone call.. i got a phone call from the orange county records office asking if they found my car.. i was like.. um .. y r u calling ME to ask me that?! they shouldve asked the detective!!! i dunno know about any other police division.. but the whole stolen car dept is retarded and that is why 10 cars get stolen every week..
