My daughter got into a nasty situation moving from New York to Florida. She failed to return her car tags to NY upon getting new Florida plates. NY suspended her driver's license, but what did she care (she was young and foolish)...she already had a new Florida driver's license.
At the time she was living in the boondocks near the Florida/Alabama border. Other than her infant son she had no family or friends nearby. Her husband was a commercial fisherman who was often away for weeks at a time. She had to use her car (actually, a nice classic pickup) to get food, etc.
She was pulled over several times, she was an easy target for the redneck sheriff. And it was always for something minor...broken tail light, etc. Her name popped up in the National Drivers License Compact Database and she was ticketed for driving with a suspended license. Little did we know, but if this happens several times (3 or 4?), it turns into a felony!
Well, to make a long story short: she served close to 3 months of a 6 month sentence in the county jail, it cost me a fortune in lawyer's fees, and now, because she is a hardened felon, it's illegal for her to possess a firearm to protect herself.
