At 10:45 a.m. Sunday on Lake Street Road, Le Roy, Le Roy PD, State Police and the Sheriff's Office were conducting a joint traffic checkpoint. Officers reported observing a vehicle driven by Spivey stop prior to the checkpoint, with Spivey exiting the driver's side and changing seats with the passenger, making the passenger the driver when the vehicle arrived at the checkpoint. Upon investigation by Deputy Chad Cummings and Deputy Chris Erion, Spivey was found to have 25 suspensions over the course of two decades. The other occupant, the passenger who became the driver, had a valid license. Spivey was jailed without bail.

It never ceases to amaze me, after watching the various Police shows on cable(A&E PD LIVE, Cops on Spike) and the local media, how many folks are driving without a license. without Insurance, without a care in the world. What is the sense of a license of we don't need one? One guy had 20 + suspensions. So what, he was still driving.

Statistically there are about 6.5 million unlicensed drivers in the U.S. Some have had their license suspended or revoked. Some can't afford insurance. Some can't pass the driver's test. Some just don't care. ...But all need to get to work, the grocery store, etc.
