How Missouri Men Get Felony Records and Lose Voting Rights

FELONY OPERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROPER LICENSE- RSMo. SECTION 302.020

It shall be unlawful for any person, except those expressly exempted by RSMo. Section 302.080, to operate any vehicle upon any highway in this state unless the person has a valid license.

RSMo. Section 302.020(1). Any person convicted of a third or subsequent time of violating RSMo. 302.020(3) is guilty of a Class D felony. State v. Louis, #ED80357 (Mo. App. 4/8/03)
