A:
It is important to note that driving with a suspended license is considered a criminal offense and therefore subject to criminal laws, not civil rights laws. However, in general, law enforcement officers are required to follow proper procedures and protocols when making an arrest, and individuals have the right to legal representation during their criminal proceedings.
In your specific case, it may be advisable to seek the advice of a criminal defense attorney who can evaluate the circumstances surrounding your arrests and advise you on whether any of your rights were violated.
