Because, having a license under suspension is not a crime. Either is driving a car. And "Assuming" that the driver of a car is the owner of the car will result the assumption to be wrong 50% of the time; since 50% of the drivers licenses issued don’t have a car registered to the same person. Thanks for the info. I plan on writing my local representative about this, not that she will read it. I totally understand that the courts have screwed this up.

Of course, if the vehicle itself is in compliance, and the driver is not the owner, then there is no violation. Either way, this is a harsh way to find out for the first time about a driver's license suspension. Thanks for sharing!

I am unsure of the legality of pulling a car over just because its owner has a suspended license. This would allow my wife to be harassed at the police officers will since her car is registered to me. And I am not even sure why or when the suspension occurred, it’s a wild disconnect. it can tell an officer that the owner of a car has a suspended license but not why.
