Hire a lawyer to represent you...if you believe that you were treated improperly you may also file a complaint against the officer with his department...You should also be careful about what you write on the web because it can be used against you in a courtroom.

Q: I have a felony warrant in Minnesota can I get a Florida license or Id card now that I reside in florida
Henry George Ferro
Henry George Ferro
answered on Jun 29, 2020

You should be able to obtain a Florida ID card...you may also be eligible for a Florida DL unless there is something in your background that would prohibit that...A felony warrant would not prevent either unless the warrant (the charge itself) would legally block your ability to get the license.
