It seems that the St. Pete Times is not well-enough informed to know that, in this state, for the rest of us mere mortals at least, Driving While License Suspended With Knowledge is a misdemeanor (you know, a CRIME?) that requires a court appearance, rather than simply being "resolved" by paying a fine as if were a ticket for a traffic infraction.
I can't speak for what happens up in Hillsborough County, but down here if you're driving on a DUI suspension, your ass is going to be spending 30 days or more in jail if the State has anything to say about it. But if your dad is a Tampa city councillor, apparently that all goes out the window.
