The case is filed under Norman County District Court number 54-CR-26-216<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Minnesota law allows state officials to cancel or deny driving privileges when a driver presents certain public safety concerns.<\/p>\n The legal designation is known as “inimical to public safety.”<\/p>\n Under Minnesota Statute 171.04<\/a>, officials can deny a license when continued driving would threaten public safety or welfare.<\/p>\n A separate law makes driving after this type of cancellation a gross misdemeanor when the required legal conditions are met.<\/p>\n Those conditions include having notice, or reasonably being expected to know, that driving privileges were canceled.<\/p>\n The provided complaint does not identify the original reason for the driver’s license cancellation.<\/p>\n It also does not allege impaired driving during the July 14 traffic stop.<\/p>\n The charge is filed under Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n A conviction can carry up to 364 days in jail.<\/p>\n The maximum fine is $3,000, or both penalties may be imposed.<\/p>\n These are possible penalties, not a sentence imposed in this case.<\/p>\n The criminal complaint is marked as a summons rather than an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n The provided document does not establish whether the defendant was taken into custody.<\/p>\n No court hearing date or final case disposition appears in the supplied paperwork.<\/p>\n Additional case information may be available through Minnesota Court Records Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n Readers can search using court file number 54-CR-26-216.<\/p>\n The allegations have not been established as facts in a criminal trial.<\/p>\n Myogeto is presumed innocent of the pending charge unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n I’m Adrian Cole reporting for TRF News<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat Does Inimical to Public Safety Mean?<\/h2>\n
