I was given a citation for driving with an expired license. Expired in June, 2012, and the citation was on August, 7, 2012. I feel that it was a racial profile case. This is from a local small town, called driscoll, texas. The ticket is for $30.00 and I renewed the license that same day.
You definitely may have been. A police officer has to have a reason for pulling you over. Unless the police officer had x-ray vision I don’t see how they could have known you had an expired license. You would have to file a motion to supress in order to obtain a dismissal for this reason. The motion will then be heard by the local judge who may also be on the side of the officer in a small town. Its an uphill battle but it can be done. We do not practice law in Drisoll, Texas. However, there are bound to be many good defense attorneys in that area that can assist you with your issue.
