Sioux Falls, SD asked in Criminal Law for South Dakota

Q: How should I get my restricted work permit for the 2nd time when I finished my probation period and the case is sealed?

I was charged with vehicular battery, the judge ordered a suspended imp of sentence and granted me a restricted work permit to go to work/medical app.. I finished the probation period and the case is sealed. Now I’m trying to renewal my restricted permit because I have a new insurance. I went to the county and they told me that they can’t renewal it because there is no case assigned to the restricted work permit. They told me that’s they have never seen a similar situation and they emailed the judge ( which she is no longer with the district) to see what would be the option. Everyone is lost with my case.

A: How long were your driving privileges revoked for? Was it longer than for the probationary sentence? If no, then you should be able to apply to have your driving privileges reinstated. If yes, then you may need to explore a sentence modification that would allow you to have a work permit during the period of time your privileges are revoked.
