| Does driving without a license without knowledge (civil infraction) violate DUI probabtion in Florida? |
"On probation" asks: I'm on a DUI probation in Florida, and received a Driving
Without a License Without Knowledge, which the officer told me is a
civil infraction, not a criminal infraction. Does this violate my
probation?
FloridaDUIPRO.com answers: i'll answer your question directly, but it actually leaves me with some
questions which i'll pose afterwards. a civil infraction would not be
grounds to violate your probation; however, you will need to tell your
probation officer that you've had contact with law enforcement if he or
she asks. my question is as follows: if you are on probation for dui, i
have to assume you under some kind of license suspension. if that's
true, i'm not sure how you could be charged with driving without a
license without knowledge. on the other hand, if your suspension was
shorter than the term of your probation, than it is conceivable that
your license was reinstated and you simply didn't have it with you when
you were pulled over. i would need more specific detail to be able to
answer with more accuracy.
