Booking Lists Gross Misdemeanor Charge

The public jail roster gives a short description of the controlling charge.

It does not describe the traffic stop or other events leading to the booking.

The roster also does not identify the court case number.

No bond amount or release date appears in the provided booking entry.

Minnesota law makes this form of driving after cancellation a gross misdemeanor.

The law applies when a license was canceled or denied under a specific public-safety provision.

The person also must have notice, or reasonably should know, about the cancellation or denial.

The law then prohibits driving a vehicle that requires a driver’s license.

The cited law refers to Minnesota Statute 171.04, subdivision 1, clause 10.

That provision addresses licensing when driving would be inimical to public safety or welfare.
