If you managed to habla ingles at the DMV and get a Florida DL, and later get a ticket from Officer Friendly and toss it in the pile of detritus on the floor of your Carolla, joining the empty Taco Bell bags and MAGA rally flyers- then as sure as the sun rises in the east and as sure as you can get arroz con pollo on any street corner in Hialeah, your license will be SUSPENDED.
Then, the next time Officer Friendly stops you as you're speeding away from a Pro-ICE rally blasting Twisted Sister's anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It", now you got a problem- driving on a suspended license. Maybe you get taken to TGK, maybe not. But you have a criminal case and need a criminal defense attorney. You call Mr. Markus but decide not to hire a lawyer who works on top of a garage, and so you end up with the guy on the bus bench telling you to not pay that ticket " No Pagues esa ticket"
For years Miami has, as surprising as this may seem, been most reasonable on suspended license cases. Show up with a valid DL and the case gets dismissed. Such a deal. Judges throughout Florida scorn our liberal judges who don't sentence these criminals to at least 60 days on a first offense.
Are changes afoot in Miami? Not really, but there are some adjustments being made to the process.
The Komissar Of Kounty Court ( (c) Justice Building Blog 2026 all rights reserved) has instituted a new procedure if you get a DWLS or NVDL and are eligible to get a valid license.
1. File a waiver of speedy trial.
2. Have the case set for report, not trial.
3. Show up with a good DL.
The reasoning, which is actually understandable, is the State doesn't want to have to issue subpoenas, and pay officers to show up in court for trial when the officers could be out writing tickets.
So follow the rules and get your case dismissed.
And now coming at you, you're angry, you're upset, so are we all....Twisted Sister and We're Not Gonna Take It on 66 WNBC...
