Through continuously educating fellow South Florida community members of the laws and changes in statutes, Mr. Canet has become a source of information and protection, defending clients against laws they may not be aware have changed.  An example of such changes can be outlined with regard to Habitual Traffic Offender statutes.  

Prior to recent changes in these statutes, drivers with habitual offender revocations, if charged, could expect treatment in the county court. The worst of these penalties meant community service and probation, longer license suspensions and brief stays in the county jail.  All of this has changed.  Now Florida has now devoted considerable time and resources in revising the law and seeing that those caught driving on Habitual Traffic Offender revocations go to the state prison.

According to Florida state statute §322.264 and §322.34(5) a person caught driving with a habitual offender status revocation is guilty of a third degree felony. A third degree felony is punishable up to five years in the state prison and a $5000.00 fine.

In addition, according to Florida Statute §322.34(2), a person convicted for the third time of driving with knowledge that their license was suspended or revoked is also guilty of a third degree felony.  For more information on your legal defense rights in the state of Florida, contact the Law Office of Carlos A.
