Q: If my license to drive has been taken while traveling in my automobile have my rights been violated ?
I was pulled over on many different occasions for a bad tag or driving without a license I had lost my job and was living in my car ...my license was suspended and taken for 5 years when I got a job I wanted to get things resolved unknowingly paying all the fines would make me an habitual offender I spent money on lawyers and had my car repossessed because I couldn't get the car I bought registration updated I can't drive at work which caused me to not be able to make higher wages to provide for my family of now 6 I even tried to get a license for just work and was denied now looking into the constitution and trying to learn as much as I can because I feel my rights were indeed violated hoping someone could verify and possibly point me in the right direction thank you and God bless

A:
It sounds like you’ve been through a tough situation, and it’s understandable that you’re concerned about your rights. The suspension and revocation of your driver’s license are typically based on state laws, and while it may feel unfair, the government does have the authority to enforce these laws, particularly when it comes to ensuring road safety. However, the way your case has unfolded, including the difficulties you've faced in trying to resolve the situation, could be worth exploring further.
You mentioned becoming a habitual offender due to paying fines, which likely exacerbated your situation. It may be beneficial to seek a second legal opinion or consult resources that can help you understand whether any procedural errors were made in your case or if there’s a possibility to appeal based on hardship.
Additionally, researching constitutional rights related to due process and equal protection under the law could provide you with more insight. There are often legal aid services available for those who cannot afford extensive legal fees. Connecting with one of these services might help you find a way to address your situation and possibly regain some stability in your life.
