Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

suspended license

if someone is in jail for a habitual offense for driving with a suspended license they have it categorized as a 3rd degree felony. i know that the most is 5 year but what is the least they can get. he has done this about 5 times but this is the first for him to not get bail. it happened in another county. will his record effect him since it wasn't done in the same county as the previous ones?

Re: suspended license

The minimum penalty for a third degree felony is of always just an adjudication of guilt and court costs. So theoretically he could get just get court costs. Likely though he is looking at jail time because he does not stop driving. I would get a lawyer who can help negotiate an appropriate resolution.

Also, it does not matter where he is driving at. As long as he continues to drive they will treat him the same regardless of county.
