-**Bond:** Driver would have to be TVB'ed, since he has a suspended driver's license and also required bond for having no insurance (proof: [[http://directives.chicagopolice.org/directives/data/a7a57be2-12a9fb0e-d1912-aa0c-91c4eb0600275ea8.html?ownapi=1|S06-13, III-B-2]])+**Bond:** Driver would have to be TVB'ed, since he has a suspended driver's license and also required bond for having no insurance (proof: S06-13, III-B-2)

 +**Mandatory Court:** Yes (proof: S04-14-03, II-F)

 +**Traffic Court Assignment:** Minor Traffic Court (since all charges are petty) (proof: S06-13, III-B-2)\\ This scenario would NOT be assigned to a Alternate Major Traffic Courtroom, since S04-14-02, V-D, specifically states Alternate Major Room specifically sees "misdemeanor traffic offense", since charges are all petty, then it would be assigned to Minor Traffic Courtroom.

 +===== The Question ===== 
 + 
 +Would the scenario be assigned to MINOR Traffic Court? 
 + 
 +===== Comments ===== 
 +  * DWLS AKA 6-303 IS NEVER PETTY, HENCE MINIMUM ALT MAJOR 
 +    * effective 01 Jan 2019 - check out 625 ILCS 5/6-303(a-7), HB3920 above clears it up, it says "Any person who violates this Section as provided in subsection (a) while his or her driver's license, permit, or privilege to drive is revoked due to an unpaid civil penalty shall be guilty of a petty offense." 
 +  * Traffic court City attorney said all suspended driver's license charges are to be sent to alternate major despite it being a petty offense.\\ The CPD Directives need to be changed.
