What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO
My husband has had continuous issues for Driving while suspended, normally he gets a lawyer and ends up getting community service and probation, which he is normally really good about completing. Last month was a rough month and he totally forgot about it, so the probation folks reported it thus they put out a warrant. He then gets pulled over, they take him to jail and give him a 40,000 10% cash bond, (cause we just have 4k sitting around), basically saying he violated his probation and it's on 2 different cases that he was serving the same probation for. They go on to say that he can get out for 4,000 cash or wait in jail for a court date, well when will the court date be you ask, they tell us whenever they get around to setting it. So now he has lost his job and so on, and still no one can tell us when he will even get a court date, doesn't this seem a little excesive? He is in the county jail with murders for driving....granted he should not have been driving, but the guy has never had a wreckless driving charge, normally pulled over for something stupid like tail light out. It seems insane! Any advice would help!
