Should this happen? NO. This is just one of the problems that someone encounters when driving on a suspended license. It depends upon the county, and it is incredible because the person cannot earn money while in jail, and racks up a big debt ($4500) just from being there, not to mention the court costs and fines, or cost of probation. Some counties do this, and some do not, which brings up an equal protection argument as similarly situated people are treated differently by the government.
