Did I miss something?

I think maybe this was supposed to go in another thread.

@cyrocksmypants, in order to get barred from operating a motor vehicle in Iowa, you must meet the definition of a "habitual offender". The criteria are below:

As used in this section and sections 321.556 through 321.562, “habitual offender” means any person who has accumulated convictions for separate and distinct offenses described in subsection 1, 2, or 3, committed after July 1, 1974, for which final convictions have been rendered, as follows:
1. Three or more of the following offenses, either singularly or in combination, within a six-year period:
a. Manslaughter resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle.
b. Operating a motor vehicle in violation of section 321J.2 or its predecessor statute.
c. Driving a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license is suspended, denied, revoked, or barred.
d. Perjury or the making of a false affidavit or statement under oath to the department of public safety.
e. An offense punishable as a felony under the motor vehicle laws of Iowa or any felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used.
f. Failure to stop and leave information or to render aid as required by sections 321.261 and 321.263.
g. Eluding or attempting to elude a pursuing law enforcement vehicle in violation of section 321.279.
h. Serious injury by a vehicle in violation of section 707.6A, subsection 4.
2. Six or more of any separate and distinct offenses within a two-year period in the operation of a motor vehicle, which are required to be reported to the department by section 321.491 or chapter 321C, except equipment violations, parking violations as defined in section 321.210, violations of registration laws, violations of sections 321.445 and 321.446, violations of section 321.276, operating a vehicle with an expired license or permit, failure to appear, weights and measures violations and speeding violations of less than fifteen miles per hour over the legal speed limit.
3. The offenses included in subsections 1 and 2 shall be deemed to include offenses under any valid town, city or county ordinance paralleling and substantially conforming to the provisions of the Code concerning such offenses.

So based on his public background, it was a **** ton of parking tickets?

No. It looks like he had 3 prior convictions for Driving While Suspended in a 12 month period. Parking tickets would have nothing to do with it.

People need to take it seriously when they are suspended or revoked or bad things can happen to them if they continue to drive.

Ah, I misunderstood all the legal gobbledygook you posted. My brain couldn’t process it.

Sorry. The Iowa Code on that is pretty poorly written when you get down to it.

Well it sounds like, in my opinion, it’s probably an offense that warrants some kind of suspension.

I'm supposed to get my phone back today. Have had several people ask my why I haven't returned their call or texts. This could be fun.

BTW, my usual response to most people is, because I didn't feel like it. People leave you alone for a bit after that.

@jcyclonee, we should start a thread listing Top Ten RTT topics.

Seems like something GTO should do using a poll.

I don't know what criteria CMC uses. Assuming it was charged as Driving Whike Barred (I couldn't confirm that as it isn't online yet) it is an attest for an aggravated misdemeanor (just below the felony line). But it doesn't involve violence or alcohol or chemicals. It does seem to reflect someone who isn't paying attention to detail. But then again, we don't know the facts of what actually happened either--maybe he was knowingly driving while barred to rush some injured babies and kittens to the hospital.

Edit: I guess it was confirmed that he was charged with Driving While Barred.

One of the football players allegedly was arrested for Driving While Barred. I was explaining what that was in another thread, but then decided to answer a question from Pants here instead, since the RTT isn't populated by dicks.

Interesting.....that word is generally verboten on CF, I guess if you make it a plural it slips by the censors. Good to know.

We had a motorcyclist killed in Omaha two weeks ago. Woman was driving north on 90th street. Hit two cars, went over the median and hit him head on. It was her 5th driving while under suspension this year.

From what I read in our local paper, lots of folks don't - because many times it will be listed as a second or third offense.

I was surprised it slipped through as well. It has to do with plurals maybe?
**** dicks
***** whores

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Sounds like a challenge

Lets see, I think you can have multiple whores but not one *****

Do whores have dicks? (this might be getting out of hand)

 

[CloneLawman]

Challenge Accepted?

 

[VeloClone]

Do whores have dicks? (this might be getting out of hand)

Isn't the having of too many dicks what makes them whores?

We are gonna get banned...

 

[cycloneG]

The male type does.

Sounds like CMC gave a one game suspension.
