Dave Tafoya Utah drivers license division Refused to remove fines and DUI from drivers license when blood test were negative salt lake city Utah

I was pulled over for not having mudflaps on my jeep cherokee. This is a  vehicle I kept registered in Utah because my son needed a 4x4. The car was not required to have mudflaps, and I told the cop that and that he pulled me over illegally. I'm not gonna get into everything that went down that day  The cop that pulled me over said he seen me swallow some drugs, so he called EMT's to the scene and they took me to the hospital. At the hospital they did blood test on me to test for drugs and alcholol, and an ultrasound to see if I had swallowed any drugs, My blood test came back negative and my ultra sound showed I didn't swallow anything. At the hospital the cops also drew blood and sent it to the state lab, that test also came back negative. When the doctor told the cops my blood test were negative and that I didn't swallow anything, the cops told me I was free to go. 

The cops filed charges for DUI against me later on, and charged me with a safety violation, for not having mudflaps to. I don't know when. I was back in Utah about a year later and pulled over again, I was charged with driving on a supened license, even though I had a valid colorado license. Thats when I was told my Utah drivers license was supended. It did make sense to me because I hadn't had a Utah licsene since 1996. But apparently even though my Utah license had not been renewed because I hadn't lived in Utah for many years, they can still suspend it so that if I were to move back, or try and get a new one in another state, like when my colorado licsene expired I couldn't get it renewed. I was arrested for driving on a suspened Utah license. When I got out I set up a court date, when I went to court the judge told me that the prosecutor refused to prosicute me for DUI because of my negative blood test, but I still had to deal with the no mudflap charge.

In Utah if your charged with a DUI, the drivers license divison sends you a letter, advising you that you have ten days to request a hearing, if you do not request the hearing your drivers license is atomaticly supended. Since I didn't know the cops had charged me, and I didn't get the letters from the drivers license division, because the addresses they had on file for me, was one, the house I sold when I moved out of state in 1996, andtwo the address that I had the jeep registered at was my sons adress. I didn't get my jeep out of impound, and my son moved from that address,  so I never gave the DMV a new address. 

I have moved back to Utah. I have been trying for two years to get the drivers license division to remove the fine they assessed against me for being charged with a DUI, and the DUI removed from my record. There is no law prweventing them from removing the almost 400.00 fine and the DUI on my record and lift the suspension. But they have refused because I didn't request a hearing within 10 days from when the cops charged me with the DUI. They don't care that I didn't know the cops went ahead and charged me. Cops don't have to charge someone at the time of an alleged incedent, they can charge you later and thats what they did to me. The DLV doesn't care why I didn't get their letter letting me know I needed to request a hearing with 10 days from when the cops charged me. 

I don't know how to explain this any better. The person at the divers license division who has the authority to remove the fine, remove the DUI from my record and lift the suspension wouln't do it. I have to pay higher insurance and have to go through a company that takes people with DUI's on their record not all insurance companies do. 

one last note. The prosecutor in the case against me for driving on a suspended Utah license asked the judge in that case to dismiss the case against me, because, after reviewing my evidence he felt it was in the interest of justice that the case be dropped and the judge agreed. I hope this makes more sence to you.

Your report makes no sense at all!
