1. Babb, Mark: Driving Under Suspension: SUSPENDED LICENSE BLUES Having a suspended license makes it difficult if not impossible to function in life. Most areas lack even a basic public transportation system or even taxis. How is a person supposed to maintain a job, support his or her family, go to the doctor or even the grocery store if they can't drive? Bicycles are beyond impractical for nearly all trips. Friends and relatives can only give you so many rides because they have their own employment and lives to maintain. What about people like delivery men, commercial drivers and even construction? AVOID NEW SUSPENSIONS Many driving offense convictions involve the imposition of additional driver's license suspensions, digging the hole a little further for the already suspended license.
2. Rowland II, Charles: Under Ohio law, there are two types of criminal charges: misdemeanors and felonies. A felony charge is more serious than a misdemeanor. The most minor felony charge carries a potential maximum punishment of one year in prison. The most serious felony charge, a capital felony, can result in the death penalty. If someone is convicted of a felony, he/she will lose their civil liberties, which include the right to vote and to carry a firearm. A felony conviction can also prevent you from being able to hold certain licenses or obtain certain employment. Misdemeanor charges are also serious. A misdemeanor charge can result in a sentence of up to one year in jail. Misdemeanor sentences can also affect your employment, your ability to drive, and can prevent you from maintaining certain licenses. Examples of misdemeanor charges include assault, domestic violence, violation of a temporary protection order, DUI, driving on a suspended license, theft, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, passing bad checks, and underage consumption of an alcoholic beverage. If you have been arrested and charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony, or if you are the subject of a criminal investigation, it is extremely important that you have an experienced criminal attorney with you before you make any statements regarding your case. You have a constitutional right to remain silent and your refusal to make any statements cannot be used against you in any way.
