More details to this question:
17325, PA. I was charged with possession. They didn't say anything in court about me losing my licenses. Now my probation officer said I might get a suspended licenses. Shouldn't they have told me in court or sometime if so?

It is permissible under the law. At sentencing, many judges and DA's feel they are not obligated to inform you of a driver's license suspension because, as they will tell you, it is purely an administrative/PennDOT matter of which they have nothing to do with it. A good attorney would have told you this before pleading and sentencing.
