In short, I was pulled over January 6th for driving while suspended, I was unaware my license had been suspended because it had just been suspend due to a late payment on previous fines. I called the next morning and got the fines cleared up, license reinstated, I went to court a few weeks later (not sure on the exact date) and explained it to the judge, he sent me out to talk to the district attorney.

The attorney told me if I go to Cedar Rapids drivers license station and get a paper saying my license was valid, then the ticket would be dismissed. I had to bring back the form before noon because that's when the D.A. leaves for the day. So by this time it's already 10:30 and it's about a 40 minute drive, so I get to Cedar Rapids as fast as I can, get the paper, and take it back to the Anamosa courthouse, I get there with 15 minutes to spare but the D.A. has already left for the day. I decide to leave the paper with his assistant, intern or whatever he was, and he says he will deliver the message to the D.A. tomorrow.
