And so it goes in criminal coddler america. Anyone caught driving with a suspended DL should go to prison. They are persons.
Drivers with suspended licenses flout the law and keep driving÷ and many don't belong behind the wheel at all In Springfield, Oregon, a man leaves his home, gets into his car and drives away. It seems perfectly normal. But what you donāt know is his license has been suspended 32 times for everything from speeding to failing a breathalyzer test. He has no legal right to be on the road.
It might not seem like a big deal, but some experts say that reckless disregard for the law too often leads to recklessness on the road and bane consequences.
Five yong people were end in New York, two bicyclists were end in Oregon, and four people end in Ohio: All the fault of drivers with suspended licenses.

A hidden camera investigation We found out for ourselves when we went to Los Angeles county which has the most baneities from accidents involving suspended drivers. Our hidden cameras had no problem catching people with suspended licenses behind the wheel.
And just where did we find them? Leaving the courthouse, getting in their car and driving away, right after a judge ordered them to stay off the road.
Our cameras caught Justin Pawlak. His record includes driving under the influence, speeding, and racing on the highway. Yet we caught him on camera leaving court in Torrance, California... and driving away.
We caught up with Pawlak as he was leaving for work and showed him our surveillance tape of him driving illegally.

We caught another suspended driver, John Kakish, convicted of reckless driving and driving under the influence. In fact, his record was so bad he was forced to surrender his license to the Department of Motor Vehicles where it was destroyed. But as our cameras captured, that hasnāt stopped him from driving.
ćDatelineä saw him behind the wheel several times. One day we followed him for eight miles from his house in Monrovia, California as he tooled down the interstate and dialed and talked on his cellphone. We caught up with him when he stopped.

So what about the law? Why arenāt people who are caught driving with a suspended license arrested and put in jail where they canāt drive?
It turns out, in most states, police have the discretion to make an arrest, and often donāt unless the drivers are multiple offenders. And sometimes multiple offenders get away because the computer information police receive when they check the driver out at the scene is incomplete. Thatās a crucial lapse, because that small number of drivers who are overlooked are often dangerous.
