Libertarian gets ticketed on purpose

LARGO — Adrian Wyllie was probably the only person in traffic court on Wednesday who actually wanted to be there.

He wanted his day in court so badly that he actually drove around Pinellas County this summer, calling various police agencies and practically begging them to give him a ticket for driving without a license.

The law requires people to come up with documentation that can include birth certificates, Social Security cards and more obscure papers such as old divorce files when getting drivers' licenses.

The state began requiring the new documentation in January 2010. Wyllie waited until his license expired in May of this year, then refused to renew it because he said it would have required him to give up his Fourth Amendment rights.

It's funny to see the Libertarians help us out on voter suppression.
