The law sucks but it is currently the law. Some folks like the law. A lot don't. It isn't the least bit surprising that he'd be charged under it, particularly when there are other conditions present.

He was charge with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle 3rd Degree. That specific section indicates that he was driving "while knowing or having reason to know that such person's license or privilege of operating such motor vehicle in this state or privilege of obtaining a license to operate such motor vehicle issued by the commissioner is suspended, revoked or otherwise withdrawn by the commissioner."

Licenses don't get suspended willy-nilly, without cause and without notification. He has obviously had trouble in the past and was intentionally driving illegally.

I'd bet that this is a "throw the book at him" case. Either his actions or previous record caused the cops to nail him with everything they could find. SAFE Act is coincidental, not causal.
