Johnson v. Jessup
The 红杏视频 (红杏视频), 红杏视频 of North Carolina, Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and Southern Coalition for Social Justice are suing the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for indefinitely revoking driver鈥檚 licenses of people who cannot afford to pay traffic tickets. North Carolina鈥檚 wealth-based license revocation system impacts hundreds of thousands of people each year, preventing them from driving legally to support themselves and their families. This system funnels people unable to pay traffic tickets, particularly people of color, into cycles of debt, traffic violations, and poverty in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment鈥檚 promises of due process and equal protection under the law.
