Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

well ihad some worthless checks out from the date of 2007 in jan of 2008 i received a dui and i went threw all the legal prosess to regan my driving privaleges again .

so florida released my d.l. in nov of 2008 . and did not tell me that i had a suspended d.l i got a mississippi d.l when fl. releised them in nov. of 2008.

ive been without work for some time and helping my parents in miss. so this yr. 2009 i found a short constrution job in fl.and thinking that my miss dl are good and no problem i went .

i got pulled over for turning the wrong way, instead of giving me that ticket, they gave driving on a suspenned d.l for the worthless checks back in 2007.

now i understand some of this but why didnt the DMV OF FLORIDA RELEASE MY DL SO I COULD GET THEM IN MISS AND WHY WHEN THEY DID FIND OUT ABOUT THE SUSENCION of my dl ,why didnt they contact miss .

ive had the dl in miss for 10 months and when they aarested me and let me out on my own rec. i got my miss licsense back and as of yesterday my dl from the state of miss. are still active with no violations . get that

an answere to this would be nice im still facing the driving on suspended licsense

i have taken care of the worthless checks here recently.

Just because you had a valid DL out of MS does not mean Florida allows you to drive here. If you live in Florida then you need a Florida license to drive. I suggest you get all conditions that Florida is requiring you to complete and then complete them. If you go to court with an attorney, if is likely that the charge could be amended so that it is not as serious a charge on your record. Good luck.
