    For real though, why was his license suspended in the first place? Like, I feel way differently about this story if the defendant is a repeat drunk driver vs someone who just didn’t pay to register their car or whatever.

      There’s also the non-zero chance he wasn’t informed his license was suspended. Not sure about Michigan laws on that though.

          Gotta love “silence is an admission of guilt” in a country where you have a right to remain silent.

      It doesn’t matter why, it’s suspended and he shouldn’t have been driving regardless of “was it right or wrong”. He dug himself deeper in the hole
