The Daly Herald today reported on a Kane County sting that targets unlicensed drivers who drive to court.
According to the article, Hector Ramirez pleaded guilty Wednesday to driving with a revoked license, then got behind the wheel to head home from the Kane County Judicial Center in St. Charles. Ramirez was one of 10 motorists caught up in a police surveillance sting targeting defendants who drove away from court with revoked or suspended licenses.

Ramirez went on to talk about the Catch-22 unlicensed drivers faced when having to appear in court, or for a family emergency, when they can't find a ride.
