(AND) DID KNOWINGLY OPERATE, ON THE ROADS OF THIS STATE, A VEHICLE THAT HAD NOT BEEN REGISTERED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 320.02(1) (AND) DID KNOWINGLY ATTACH TO ANY MOTOR VEHICLE OR MOBILE HOME ANY REGISTRATION LICENSE PLATE, OR WHO KNOWINGLY ATTACHES ANY VALIDATION STICKER OR MOBILE HOME STICKER TO A REGISTRATION LICENSE PLATE, WHICH PLATE OR STICKER WAS NOT ISSUED AND ASSIGNED OR LAWFULLY TRANSFERRED TO SUCH VEHICLE, IS IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 320.261 ON 040311 A TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED ON A 1994 GREEN PONTIAC TWO DOOR, IN THE PARKING LOT OF 1876 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE. DURING THE TRAFFIC STOP IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, AT WHICH POINT THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HER LICENSE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST; HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNAWARE THAT AFTER SHE HAD PAID HER INSURANCE FINES, SHE NEEDED TO HAVE HER LICENSE REINSTATED ON THIS OFFENSE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD PLACED A FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE ON THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS ASSIGNED TO A SEPARATE VEHICLE WHICH WAS ALSO REGISTERED TO THE DEFENDANT. THE TAG BELONGED TO A 1993 GRAY NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK. THE VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER WAS THEN RUN THROUGH FCIC/NCIC AND I OBSERVED THAT THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE IN QUESTION WAS NOT REGISTERED. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SHE WAS THEN READ MIRANDA RIGHTS FROM AN AGENCY PREPRINTED MIRANDA CARD AND SHE ADVISED SHE DID KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REGISTERED YET AND THAT THE TAG BELONGED TO A SEPARATE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, SHE ADVISED THAT SHE WAS UNAWARE THAT HER LICENSE WAS STILL SUSPENDED BECAUSE, IN THE PAST, ONCE SHE GOT NEW INSURANCE, HER LICENSE, ALLEGEDLY, AUTOMATICALLY WAS REINSTATED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, AND SHE WAS PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. SHE WAS CHARGED WITH DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, TAG ATTACHED NOT ASSIGNED, AND OPERATING AN UNREGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLE. DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $1,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
