I have been where you are.
When I was young, I got a DUI. I owned the mistake and took the plea. My public defender told me to go to the MVD and get a new license. I trusted him.
A month later I was a passenger in a friend’s car, not driving, when a police officer pulled us over for expired tags. The officer took everyone’s ID. Because my license was suspended the moment I handed mine over, he treated my real license as a fake ID and arrested me.
I offered my passport to prove who I was. The officer told me to tell it to the judge. The prosecutor said the same. I was a broke college student, so I represented myself at trial. The judge said he did not have the power to drop it. Only the officer or the prosecutor did, and they refused. I was convicted for handing over my own ID.
I finished law school in two years, seventh in my class, and passed the bar on my first try. The conviction still cost me a year of my career and a job I had already earned.
Everyone who was supposed to protect me failed me. The officer, the prosecutor, the limits on the judge, and my own lawyer. This is why Future First exists. You need someone in your corner who fights for you and tells you the truth.
